Serum lipid profiles of study participants. a) Boxplot showing serum lipid levels in in untreated DC, treated DC, untreated FA, and unaffected relatives. The solid line indicates the median and the ‘x’ indicated the mean. The whiskers show the 25^th and 75^th percentile. b) Boxplot showing low density lipoprotein particle number (LDL-P) in untreated DC, treated DC, untreated FA, and unaffected DC relatives. The solid line indicates the median and the ‘x’ indicated the mean. The whiskers show the 25^th and 75^th percentile. c) Boxplot showing high density lipoprotein particle (HDL-P) in untreated DC, treated DC, untreated FA, and unaffected DC relatives. The solid line indicates the median and the ‘x’ indicates the mean. The whiskers show the 25^th and 75^th percentile.

Abbreviations: DC: Dyskeratosis congenita, FA: Fanconi anaemia, LDL: low density lipoprotein, HDL: high density lipoprotein
