HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA, FAMILIAL

Alternate names

HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA, FAMILIAL Is also known as fh, ldl receptor disorder, hyper-low-density-lipoproteinemia, hypercholesterolemic xanthomatosis, familial, fhc, hyperlipoproteinemia, type iia, hyperlipoproteinemia, type ii

Description

Familial hypercholesterolemia is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by elevation of serum cholesterol bound to low density lipoprotein (LDL), which promotes deposition of cholesterol in the skin (xanthelasma), tendons (xanthomas), and coronary arteries (atherosclerosis). The disorder occurs in 2 clinical forms: homozygous and heterozygous (summary by Hobbs et al., 1992).

Most common symptoms of HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA, FAMILIAL

  • Pain
  • Peripheral neuropathy
  • Dilatation
  • Stroke
  • Myocardial infarction
