Study of families with familial high cholesterol
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This is a study that follows people with a genetic form of very high cholesterol (familial hypercholesterolemia) and their close relatives. It aims to better understand this condition in real families and how it affects health over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a genetic diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH)
- Your family member also has a genetic diagnosis of FH, or you are a close relative
- You are over age 15

This study looks at how people with high cholesterol (including familial hypercholesterolemia) and high heart risk are treated in real life. It is observational, so you would not get any new medicine—just have your usual care and visits reviewed.
This trial focuses on people with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), an inherited condition that causes very high cholesterol. It aims to better understand and manage severe cholesterol problems that raise heart risk, especially in families.
This study aims to find and help people with very high cholesterol, which can run in families. If you or your child have high cholesterol, this study may help you understand your risk and get the right care.
This study uses a 'cascade testing' approach, where family members of people with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a genetic condition causing very high cholesterol, are tested to see if they also have it. The goal is to identify and test at-risk relatives early so they can get treatment to prevent heart problems.
This trial is a global registry that collects health and genetic information from people with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and sometimes from their relatives. The goal is to better understand FH and how it presents, which can help improve care for families affected by high cholesterol.
This trial is about helping families with familial hypercholesterolemia (a genetic condition that causes very high cholesterol) get screened. It tests a way to reach close relatives so they can learn their risk and consider next steps.
