Fact Sheet: What is Familial Hypercholesterolemia?

With a focus on awareness, prevalence, causes, and risks of Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) this tool is especially helpful for those with or at risk for FH.

As an autosomal dominant disorder, all first-degree relatives of people with FH have a 50% chance of having FH as well, making family education and screening important for early detection and disease management.
