Familial Hypercholesterolemia (Type II Hyperlipoproteinemia) overview
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder that affects the way the body processes cholesterol. People with FH have very high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, also known as “bad” cholesterol, in their blood. This can lead to early and severe cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attacks and strokes. FH is caused by a mutation in one or more genes that are involved in removing LDL cholesterol from the blood. The most common gene affected is LDLR, which encodes the LDL receptor protein. Other genes that can cause FH are APOB, PCSK9, and LDLRAP1. FH is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means that having one copy of the mutated gene is enough to cause the condition. People who inherit two copies of the mutated gene have a more severe form of FH. FH affects about 1 in 250 people worldwide, but the prevalence may vary depending on the population and the genetic background. FH can be diagnosed by measuring the blood cholesterol levels, examining the physical signs of cholesterol deposits (such as xanthomas and arcus corneae), and performing genetic testing to confirm the mutation. FH can be treated with medications that lower cholesterol levels, such as statins, bile acid sequestrants, ezetimibe, and PCSK9 inhibitors. Some people with FH may also need other treatments, such as LDL apheresis or liver transplantation, to reduce their risk of complications. FH also requires lifestyle modifications, such as eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking, and managing other risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.
