- Visible Age-Related Signs and Risk of Ischemic Heart Disease in the General Population: A Prospective Cohort Study.
- Christoffersen M, Frikke-Schmidt R, Schnohr P, Jensen GB, Nordestgaard BG, Tybjaerg-Hansen A.Author information Rigshospitalet; Copenhagen University Hospitals and Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark.AbstractBACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease is one of the most common age-related diseases, and also one of the most common causes of death in the general population. We tested the hypothesis that visible age-related signs associate with risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD), myocardial infarction (MI), and death in the general population, independent of chronological age.

- Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia in Hong Kong Chinese. Study of 252 cases.
- Hu M, Lan W, Lam CW, Mak YT, Pang CP, Tomlinson B.Author information Department of Medicine & Therapeutics, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, Hong Kong.AbstractBACKGROUND: Earlier studies reported that Chinese subjects with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (heFH) living in Mainland China or in Western countries had lower plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and lower prevalence of xanthomata or coronary heart disease (CHD) than Caucasians with heFH and a greater proportion went unrecognized. We characterized the features of Hong Kong Chinese with heFH identified by cascade screening.

- First case report of familial hypercholesterolemia in an Omani family due to novel mutation in the low-density lipoprotein receptor gene.
- Al-Hinai AT, Al-Abri A, Al-Dhuhli H, Al-Waili K, Al-Sabti H, Al-Yaarubi S, Al-Hashmi K, Banerjee Y, Al-Zakwani I, Al-Rasadi K.Author information Department of Medicine, College of Medicine & Health Sciences, Sultan Qaboos University, Muscat, Oman.AbstractFamilial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder. Mutations have been found in at least 3 genes: the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), apolipoprotein B (APOB), and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9). We report the first case of FH in an Omani family due to a novel mutation in the LDLR gene. A 9-year-old female was referred to our lipid clinic with eye xanthelasmata and thickening of both Achilles tendons. Evaluation of the lipid profile showed the off treatment total cholesterol of 896 mg/dL (23.2 mmol/L), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) of 853 mg/dL (22.1 mmol/L), APOB of 4.5 g/L, triglyceride of 71 mg/dL (0.8 mmol/L), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol of 0.74 mmol/L. Genetic analysis of the LDLR gene showed a homozygous frameshift deletion mutation (272delG) at exon 3. The female patient was treated with a combination of rosuvastatin/ezetimibe and LDL apheresis.
