Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic and hereditary disorder that leads to an increased LDL (bad) cholesterol. The condition occurs at birth and can cause heart attacks at an early age.
Familial Hypercholesterolemia is an autosomal-dominant disorder associated with mutations in the LDL receptor gene that increases plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Patients with FH are characterized by a less LDL clearance from the circulation and a rise in LDL synthesis, with changes in homozygotes being more marked than in heterozygotes, consistent with a gene dosage effect.
