- Abstract
Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is associated with highly raised low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and causes early-onset cardiovascular disease. Its autosomal dominant inheritance allows family cascade screening to be performed once an index case has been identified. However, the vast majority of people with FH in the United Kingdom have not been identified, and there is no national screening programme.
