Familial hypercholesterolemia: a case report
Abstract Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a hereditary dislipidemia. Patients present with extremely high level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), which is due to mutation in the gene of LDL receptor. Homozygous patients (HoFH) whose incidence is 1 in 1.000.000 are at high risk of premature aortic valve stenosis, and coronary artery atherosclerosis. In homozygous individual...
متن کاملFamilial hypoalphalipoproteinemia in premature coronary artery disease.
Hypoalphalipoproteinemia (HA) is a common finding in patients with premature coronary artery disease. To characterize the common familial forms of HA, we studied 102 families of probands with premature coronary artery disease; 40 probands (39.2%) had HA. Of these, 25 had at least one first-degree relative affected with HA; 11 had familial hypertriglyceridemia with HA (FTgHA); 10 had familial co...
متن کاملEvaluation of Genome in Early Familial Coronary Artery Disease: A Case Report
Background and Objectives: Coronary artery diseases (CAD) are the most common cause of death in Iran and worldwide. Myocardial infarction (MI) is a complex multifactorial and the most severe type of CAD. Early onset MI in first degree relatives could be considered as an independent risk factor for CAD. This study was performed to investigate the genetic cause of early onset familial CAD. Cas...

متن کاملFamilial lipoprotein disorders in patients with premature coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Genetic lipoprotein disorders have been associated with premature coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS AND RESULTS The prevalence of such disorders was determined in 102 kindreds (n = 603 subjects) in whom the proband had significant CAD documented by angiography before the age of 60 years. Fasting plasma cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, apoli...
