Citando:
"The British Heart Foundation is calling for improved screening to pinpoint those affected by the inherited condition, known as familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH), after new estimates indicated the genetic defect is more common in Scottish children than type one diabetes and is likely to affect around 21,000 people in Scotland."
(...)
"FH causes abnormally high levels of cholesterol in a person’s blood, meaning that otherwise healthy individuals are at a much greater risk of having a heart attack at a young age.

Without treatment, people with FH can die prematurely in their 20s, 30s or 40s. Each child of a parent who has FH has a 50 per cent chance of inheriting the condition.

Early treatment with statins can bring a carrier’s life expectancy back to that of someone without the condition. However, the BHF warns that people are needlessly dying because most people are not diagnosed and treated for the condition, despite one of the faulty genes responsible for the majority of FH cases first being discovered 30 years ago."
