- W1844854928 abstract "Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal-dominant genetic disease present in all racial and ethnic groups and has long been recognized as a cause of premature atherosclerotic coronary heart disease.1–3 Heterozygous FH has the highest prevalence of genetic defects that cause significant premature mortality (≈1:200 to 1:500 or higher in founder populations). The genetic basis of the disorder, impaired functioning of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor, was first recognized by Goldstein and Brown4 in their Nobel Prize–winning work. Studies of LDL receptor function have identified additional mechanisms for the pathogenesis of FH (defects in apolipoprotein [apo] B impairing binding with the LDL receptor and gain-of-function mutations in proprotein convertase subtulisin/kexin type 9 [PCSK9] that enhance LDL receptor degradation). FH leads to elevated LDL concentrations, with levels in heterozygous FH generally in untreated adults >190 mg/dL LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and in untreated children or adolescents >160 mg/dL LDL-C. Long-term exposure to elevated plasma concentrations of LDL-C begins in utero, leading in heterozygotes to premature ischemic heart disease in mid adulthood and in homozygotes to ischemic heart disease in childhood or early adulthood. In those who meet clinical definitions of FH based on LDL-C levels and family history, genetic testing identifies mutations in most children and a large percentage of adults.5,6Complementing these cell biology discoveries has been drug discovery that has linked enhancement of LDL receptor function to LDL-C lowering and successful prevention of ischemic heart disease, first with statins and now with newer drugs that affect LDL receptor function in other ways, including those that impair PCSK9 regulation of LDL receptor recycling.7 The natural history of FH, the natural history of genetic disorders that lead to lifelong low LDL-C, and the dramatic improvement in life expectancy created by effective cholesterol lowering provide the …" @default.
