title: [Genetic basis of dyslipidemia].
abstract: Genetic disorders play an important role in the ethiopathogenesis of disease processes in humans. In the present paper we have described documented genes polymorphisms associated with dyslipidemia. Some of them have been known for years, but some have been discovered quite recently. Their characteristics an impact on lipid profile are presented. Discussed are their direct relationship with atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases.
