Liver transplantation for homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia: a retrospective analysis from Chinese experience.
Orphanet J Rare Dis
January 2025
Department of Critical Liver Diseases, Liver Research Center, Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China.
Background: Homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (HoFH) increases risk of premature cardiovascular events and cardiac death. In severe cases of HoFH, clinical signs and symptoms cannot be controlled well by non-surgical treatments, liver transplantation (LT) currently represents the viable option.
Method: To assess the clinical efficacy, prognosis, and optimal timing of LT for HoFH, a retrospective analysis was conducted on the preoperative, surgical conditions, and postoperative follow-up of children who received an LT for HoFH at the Beijing Friendship Hospital over the period from December 2014 to August 2022.
Familial hypercholesterolemia in Chinese children and adolescents: a multicenter study.
Lipids Health Dis
December 2024
Department of Endocrinology, Children's Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, National Clinical Research Center for Child Health, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, 310052, China.
Background: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an inherited disorder mainly marked by increased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrations and a heightened risk of early-onset arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). This study seeks to characterize the genetic spectrum and genotype‒phenotype correlations of FH in Chinese pediatric individuals.
Methods: Data were gathered from individuals diagnosed with FH either clinically or genetically at multiple hospitals across mainland China from January 2016 to June 2024.
An unusual case of type I hyperlipidemia - infant with acute encephalopathy, bulging fontanel, vomiting and pink blood: a case report.
BMC Pediatr
December 2024
Department of Pediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care, University Children's Hospital, Belgrade, 11000, Serbia.
Background: Familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) is a rare genetic disorder with heterogeneous presentation, where acute encephalopathy is rarely described in literature. Therefore, initial neurologic symptoms could make the diagnosis and treatment challenging.
Case Presentation: A four-month-old male infant presented with acute encephalopathy, vomiting, bulging fontanel, decreased appetite and failure to thrive.
Spectrum and Prevalence of Rare Variants and Their Association with Familial Dysbetalipoproteinemia.

Familial dysbetalipoproteinemia (FD) is a highly atherogenic, prevalent genetically based lipid disorder. About 10% of FD patients have rare variants associated with autosomal dominant FD. However, there are insufficient data on the relationship between rare variants and FD.
