Familial hypercholesterolemia - homozygous
0.200 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (hoFH) is either diagnosed on the identification of pathogenic genetic variants in LDLR, APOB, or PCSK9 or by phenotypic parameters of which an extremely elevated LDL-C level >13 mmol/L (>500 mg/dL) is the most prominent hallmark. 30795984 2020
Familial hypercholesterolemia - homozygous
0.200 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Mutations in the genes for the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), apolipoprotein B, and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 have been reported to cause heterozygous and homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). 29396260 2019

Familial hypercholesterolemia - homozygous
0.200 Biomarker disease BEFREE Here, we have used hepatocyte-like cells generated from homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (hoFH) iPSCs to identify drugs that can potentially be repurposed to lower serum LDL-C. We found that cardiac glycosides reduce the production of apolipoprotein B (apoB) from human hepatocytes in culture and the serum of avatar mice harboring humanized livers. 28388428 2017

Familial hypercholesterolemia - homozygous
0.200 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE A total of 97 subjects were identified as having HoFH-of whom, 47 were true homozygous (1 for APOB, 5 for LDLRAP1, and 41 for LDLR), 45 compound heterozygous for LDLR, 3 double heterozygous for LDLR and PSCK9, and 2 double heterozygous for LDLR and APOB. 27784735 2016

Familial hypercholesterolemia - homozygous
0.200 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE Partial MTP inhibition using small molecule inhibitors, such as lomitapide, can effectively lower plasma low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and apolipoprotein B levels, but is associated with gastrointestinal side effects and hepatic steatosis, whose long-term sequelae remain unclear; lomitapide has accordingly only been approved as a treatment for homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. 25552696 2015
Familial hypercholesterolemia - homozygous
0.200 CausalMutation disease CLINVAR Novel functional APOB mutations outside LDL-binding region causing familial hypercholesterolaemia. 24234650 2014

Familial hypercholesterolemia - homozygous
0.200 Biomarker disease BEFREE A microsomal triglyceride transfer protein inhibitor and an antisense oligonucleotide against APOB have recently been approved for use in subjects with clinically diagnosed homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. 24632267 2014
