Familial defective apolipoprotein (apo) B-100 (FDB) is a frequent cause of hypercholesterolemia. Hypercholesterolemia in homozygous FDB is less severe than in homozygotes for familial hypercholesterolemia. Recently, we showed decreased low density lipoprotein (LDL) apoB-100 fractional catabolism and decreased production of LDL due to an enhanced removal of apoE-containing precursors in a patien...
BACKGROUND Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is a rare genetic disorder associated with very high levels of cholesterol, accelerated atherosclerosis and very premature death, often secondary to occlusion of the coronary ostia by supravalvular atheroma in untreated individuals. OBJECTIVE To describe molecular and clinical characteristics of HoFH enrolled at SAFEHEART registry and...
We report a 46-year-old man with familial hypercholesterolemia who simultaneously developed angina pectoris and left hemiplegia. Angiography revealed complete tapering occlusion of the right internal carotid artery and a 75% stenosis of the right coronary artery. In addition to hypercholesterolemia, his serum Lp(a) levels were very high, with a mean (+/- SE) of 62 +/- 2 mg/dl.
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), known to be as the most important cause of severe hypercholesterolemia, is a genetic disease characterized by elevated LDL-Cholesterol (LDL-C), mainly caused by an autosomal dominant condition due to mutations in the LDLR gene that normally encodes the LDL receptor protein, leading to its decreased function and decreased LDL cholesterol clearance from the blo...
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), caused by a defect in the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor, results in high plasma concentrations of LDL cholesterol due to both overproduction and delayed catabolism of LDL FH is also associated with significantly lower levels of plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein (apo) A-I in both heterozygous and homozygous patients. Howev...
Two elderly patients (a 76-year-old man and a 75-year-old woman), who had been previously diagnosed with familial hypercholesterolemia (at 58 and 48 years of age, respectively) underwent long-term treatment with oral therapy and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis. As their LDL cholesterol levels remained high (>150 mg/dL and >120 mg/dL, respectively) and their familial hypercholesterolemia...
A 20-d-old boy was referred to our department because of hyperthyrotropinemia at neonatal mass screening and diagnosed with neonatal transient hyperthyrotropinemia. A follow-up examination when the patient was 5 mo old revealed severe hypercholesterolemia. Familial hypercholesterolemia was first suspected because of the patient's significantly high levels of total and low-density lipoprotein ch...
Monogenically inherited hypercholesterolemia is most commonly caused by mutations at the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) locus causing familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) or at the apolipoprotein B (APOB) locus causing the disorder familial defective apoB (FDB). Probands from 47 kindreds with a strict clinical diagnosis of FH were selected from the Cardiovascular Genetics Research Lipid ...
