   Extractions: 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. 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
    
    Extractions: 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.
