Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder that causes high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, also known as “bad” cholesterol, in the blood. People with FH have a mutation in one of three genes that control cholesterol metabolism, resulting in excessive production or impaired removal of LDL by the liver. The excess cholesterol can build up in the walls of arteries, leading to atherosclerosis and an increased risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.
