Molecular Diagnosis of Familial Hypercholesterolemia

Abstract Background and objectives: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal disorder characterized by increased levels of total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein cholesterol. The FH clinical phenotype has been associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease and premature death. The mutation in LDLR gene in most cases is responsible for FH phenotype. Furthermore, other ...

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), caused by a defect in the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor, results in high plasma concentrations of LDL cholesterol due to both overproduction and delayed catabolism of LDL FH is also associated with significantly lower levels of plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein (apo) A-I in both heterozygous and homozygous patients. Howev...

Familial Hypercholesterolemia.

Familial hypercholesterolemia is a common, inherited disorder of cholesterol metabolism that leads to early cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It is underdiagnosed and undertreated. Statins, ezetimibe, bile acid sequestrants, niacin, lomitapide, mipomersen, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis are treatments that can lower LDL cholesterol levels. Early treatment can lead to substant...
