Even with familiar cholersterolemia, the benefit of statin is NOT a reduction in cholesterol... 
In Response To: C'mon guys... ()
this has been proven by the data in the studies of this group, which prove that those with the least reduction of cholesterol levels benefited the most - exactly opposite of what you might assume. For this group, and this group only, statin seems to have significant benefit. But its action is apparently not due to the cholesterol lowering effect, but some other unknown effect.
