Familial hypercholesterolemia
Familial hypercholesterolemia is a condition passed down through families in which a person has high levels of "bad" cholesterol (low density lipoprotein, or LDL) beginning at birth. The condition can cause heart attacks at an early age. See also: Familial combined hyperlipidemia; Familial hypertriglyceridemia; Familial dysbetalipoproteinemia.
