Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolaemia
Homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia is an inherited condition in which a faulty cholesterol gene is passed from both parents, causing very high cholesterol levels from birth.
Key points
- Homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia is the form in which the faulty gene is inherited from both parents, rather than one.
- Treatment can be harder because cholesterol levels are very high from birth, unlike the form inherited from one parent.
