Return to Table of Contents HETEROZYGOUS FAMILIAL HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA IS ASSOCIATED WITH LARGER LDL SIZE FOR ANY GIVEN FASTING TRIGLYCERIDE CONCENTRATION I Lemieux, P Perron, G Tremblay, J Bergeron, P Couture, B Lamarche, D Gaudet, JP Després Québec OBJECTIVES: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder associated with raised plasma LDL-cholesterol levels and premature coronary heart disease (CHD). Although it has been suggested that LDL size could further increase the CHD risk resulting from an elevated LDL concentration, factors controlling LDL size in FH patients are not fully understood. Therefore, the objectives of the present study were to compare LDL size in FH vs nonFH patients and to study its relationship with known correlates of LDL size such as abdominal obesity (waist girth) and triglyceride (TG) levels. METHODS: After exclusion of patients with fasting TG and glucose levels greater than 4.5 mmol/L and 7.0 mmol/L respectively, a sample of 112 male patients (46.7 ± 12.6 years of age) with a clinical and/or molecular diagnosis of heterozygous FH was compared to a group of 305 nonFH men (42.3 ± 11.9 years). LDL size was assessed by 2-16% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. RESULTS: FH patients were characterized by the expected differences in their plasma lipid profile including substantially higher cholesterol (+65.8%), LDL-cholesterol (+88.9%) and apo B (+30.6%) levels than non FH men despite the fact that they had lower body mass index (-8.1%) and waist circumference (-5.4%) values than nonFH controls (p

South Africa, especially the Caucasian part of the population, has one of the highest incidences of familial hypercholesterolemia in the world. The founder effect in this region has led to this high incidence and to a limited number of mutations in the low-density lipoprotein-receptor gene.

Patient Recruitment Research Studies Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia Research Study LDL > 500 mg/dL Research Study Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia Research Study If you have homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), you are invited to participate in a study that will evaluate the development and follow the natural history of atherosclerosis in your disorder. A variety of clinical and research techniques will be used to assess and follow the development of atherosclerosis. Recommendations for treatments will be provided based upon these findings. Persons with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia typically have a total and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentration greater than 700 mg/dL with normal triglycerides. Cholesterol deposits called xanthomas are frequently present in the first few years of life and are located on the elbows, knees, between the webs of the fingers and on the Achilles tendons. Eligible persons will undergo a comprehensive cardiac evaluation. All patients will remain under the care of their own physician who will receive results of the laboratory and diagnostic tests. In most cases, you will be invited back for yearly evaluations. There is no cost to you for travel or medical testing.
