- W2079986890 abstract "Familial hypercholesterolaemia is a common genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the LDL-receptor gene which renders the receptor non-functional. The disease affects about 1 in 500 people in its heterozygous form and about 1 in 1 million people in its homozygous form. Patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia have increased concentrations of LDL cholesterol, typically ranging from 6 to 13 mmol/L, and a dramatically increased risk for developing coronary heart disease. According to a UK study, 1 Slack J Risks of ischaemic heart-disease in familial hyper-lipoproteinaemic states. Lancet. 1969; 2: 1380-1382 Summary PubMed Google Scholar the risk of the first event of coronary heart disease in men with untreated familial hypercholestero-laemia was 24% by the age of 40 years and 51% by age 50. Men with familial hypercholesterolaemia are especially prone to premature coronary heart disease, but the risk is also substantially increased in affected women. 2 Stone NJ Fredrick D Verter J Levy RI Coronary-artery disease in 116 kindred with familial type II hyperlipoproteinemia.

Arterial intima-media thickness in children heterozygous for familial hypercholesterolaemiaPatients with familial hypercholesterolaemia have severe coronary-artery disease early in adult life. Whether lipid-lowering treatment should be started in childhood remains to be established. We therefore assessed 201 children heterozygous for familial hypercholesterolaemia and 80 unaffected siblings (both age ranges 8–18 years) with B-mode ultrasound to measure carotid wall intima-media thickness. Mean combined carotid intima-media thickness of heterozygotes was significantly greater than that of unaffected siblings (0·494 mm [SD 0·051] vs 0·472 [SD 0·049], p=0·002). Full-Text PDF" @default.
