http://www.medped.org/
MEDPED stands for Make Early Diagnosis to Prevent Early Deaths. It is a research project and a nonprofit organization funded to register and help treat people with inherited cholesterol disorders, such as Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH). The goal is to find persons with FH that are either undiagnosed or inadequately treated and help treat them by following the guidelines set by the National Cholesterol Education Guidelines (NCEP) , making a proper diagnosis and finding the right treatment.
There are an estimated 10 million individuals with FH world wide. Premature heart disease and death in middle-aged productive men and women occurs because their FH is not diagnosed or properly treated. Few patients are receiving the benefits of recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of FH.
The MEDPED Coordinating Center has the collaboration of the best lipid specialty physicians in the country. One reason treating FH is so cost effective is that untreated FH patients have such a high risk of very early death. Thousands of patients with FH have been identified, through MEDPED, and helped to obtain an accurate diagnosis and the best available treatment to live longer lives!

20. Familial Hypercholesterolemia - High Cholesterol
familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an inherited disorder that causes very highcholesterol levels and greatly increases the chance of having a heart attack
http://www.medped.org/MEDPED-What-is-FH.html
What is FH?
What Causes FH?
Cholesterol is removed from the blood by the liver using Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) receptors. Each person has two genes that are responsible for making the LDL receptors: one received from the father and one received from the mother. In a person with FH, an abnormal gene was passed on from one parent who has FH and a normal gene was passed on from the other parent. Therefore, half of the LDL receptors are absent or do not work properly and the other half are normal. Because half of the receptors do not remove the cholesterol normally, cholesterol levels increase in the blood. This results in damage to blood vessels, blockage of arteries and heart attacks at an early age.
How is FH Inherited?
National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) guidelines suggest children in a FH family be checked at age two. Most persons with the disease are neither recognized nor treated.
Will I pass on the FH gene if I don't have FH?
If a person has normal cholesterol levels at birth, he or she will never develop FH later in life nor will he or she pass the gene on to their children.
How is FH treated?
