N2 - Platelets from patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (type IIa hyperlipoproteinemia), a condition associated with high prevalence of atherosclerosis and of its thrombotic complications, are known to be hyperresponsive to aggregating stimuli and to synthesize increased amounts of thromboxane A2 (TxA2) in comparison to platelets from normal subjects. In order to search if these functional alterations are linked to a different platelet lipid composition, we studied a group of young patients affected by IIa hyperlipoproteinemia and a group of suitable controls with similar dietary habits. Both cholesterol and phospholipid content of platelets were higher in patients than in controls with a significant increase of cholesterol/phospholipid molar ratio (at least p
