Precision medicine for FH
When we encounter an individual whose LDL cholesterol level is ≥ 180 mg/dl, then we have to consider a clinical as well as genetic diagnosis of FH. Additionally, additional risk stratification can be considered based on their common genetic variations, and their imaging. According to this information, we can select the best approach for their LDL cholesterol reduction.
FH: familial hypercholesterolemia; SNV: single nucleotide variation
