Does anyone else share the purely clinical impression that FHL cases tend to be more intelligent and come from the higher social classes, less deprived post code areas? It's something I always meant to look at when I was running a lipid clinic but never got round to. It's probably just a referral bias.

I was wondering if anyone had any information regarding mental development in familial hypercholesterolaemia. I have tried a medline search to no avail.
