Professor Eric Sijbrands, an internist at Erasmus MC, established an outpatient clinic for hereditary cardiovascular disease detection in 2001. His research led to patients with familial hypercholesterolemia paying normal insurance premiums. Sijbrands is one of four founders of the national  familial hypercholesterolemia screening program. 


Quote taken from Erasmus site:

"We have learned to treat the average patient with the average therapy, but of course we need to deliver as much tailored therapy as possible."

"Early recognition of (hereditary) risk offers the opportunity to prevent arteriosclerosis instead of lagging behind."
