title: Dietary n-3 fatty acids and children with hyperlipidaemia.
abstract: A review of the literature shows that no studies on children with primary genetic lipid disorders have been published. Case reports are presented indicating that hyperlipidaemias presenting in children--both familial hypercholestrolaemia and disorders with secondary hyperlipidaemia (triglycerides) may benefit of the intake of n-3 fatty acids.
