Effect of treatment on CV survival in Familial Hypercholesterolemia
Effect of Lipid-Lowering Treatment on Natural History of Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia in Past Three Decades 327 patients, 60% men, 38±14 mean age at diagnosis 15±8 years follow up Treatment statin monotherapy - 24% statin plus another agent 55% triple therapy 21% LDL-C mean reduction of 55% from baseline Elis et al. Am J Cardiol. 2011 Jul 15;108(2):223-6
The decrease in the mean LDL cholesterol levels during the 30-year period Elis et al. Am J Cardiol. 2011 Jul 15;108(2):223-6
Evaluation of Cholesterol Lowering Treatment of Patients with Familial Hypercholesterolemia 443 patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (172 men) mean age 40±15 years, who referred to outpatient Lipid Unit and were followed up for 8±2 years. Only 14% of the patients achieved an LDL goal <100 mg/dl Metaxa V, et al. Eur Heart J 2011;32
PCSK9* Regulates the Surface Expression of LDLRs by Targeting for Lysosomal Degradation *PCSK9 Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9
Key research on PCSK9 came from Helen Hobbs, an endocrinologist and genetics researcher at Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas and her colleague Jonathan Cohen, a geneticist at the medical center. Hobbs and Cohen had been gathering DNA from 3500 Americans for a heart study While many researcher were looking for common gene variants that modestly influence heart risk in broad populations, Hobbs went looking for rare genetic mutations that had a dramatic effect.
