Hypercholesterolemia Due To Cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase Deficiency

Description

Hypercholesterolemia due to cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase deficiency is a rare, genetic, sterol metabolism disorder characterized by increased LDL cholesterol serum levels (which are resistant to treatment with 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase inhibitors), hypertrigliceridemia, and decreased rate of bile acid excretion, resulting from cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase deficiency. Premature gallstone disease and/or premature coronary and peripheral vascular disease are frequently associated.
