The paper presents a clinical and genealogical characterization of 50 probands suffering from coronary heart disease concurrent with various lipid metabolic disturbances and 211 first-degree relatives whose data have been obtained from the probands' histories while making up their pedigrees.

Some dyslipoproteinemias in the proband have been characterized by early onset of coronary heart disease, stroke, and their grave course in close relatives.
