Abstract

Objective: To study hereditary dyslipidaemias from a clinical and differential diagnostic approach, focusing on genetically-induced hypercholesterolemia. Method: A systematic review was conducted by searching Medline (PubMed) using the following MeSH terms: familial hypercholesterolemia, diagnostic techniques, prevalence. Results and conclusion: Eleven articles that met the inclusion criteria were analysed. Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia has a prevalence of 1:200-300 people, while the homozygous form affects 1:17,000-400,000 individuals. Diagnostic methods include biochemical criteria (LDL-C >190 mg/dL in adults, >160 mg/dL in children for heterozygotes), genetic criteria (mutations in LDLR, APOB, PCSK9, LDLRAP1) and clinical criteria (Dutch Lipid Clinic Network, Simon Broome, MEDPED criteria). Family cascade screening has proven highly effective in detecting new cases. Familial hypercholesterolemia is an underdiagnosed condition that requires the implementation of combined diagnostic strategies.
