High lipoprotein(a) as a possible cause of clinical familial hypercholesterolaemia: a prospective cohort study
Abstract
Background The reason why lipoprotein(a) concentrations are raised in individuals with clinical familial hypercholesterolaemia is unclear. We tested the hypotheses that high lipoprotein(a) cholesterol and LPA risk genotypes are a possible cause of clinical familial hypercholesterolaemia, and that individuals with both high lipoprotein(a) concentrations and clinical familial hypercholesterolaemia have the highest risk of myocardial infarction. Methods We did a prospective cohort study that included data from 46 200 individuals from the Copenhagen General Population Study who had lipoprotein(a) measurements and were genotyped for common familial hypercholesterolaemia mutations. Individuals receiving cholesterol-lowering drugs had their concentrations of LDL and total cholesterol multiplied by 1·43, corresponding to an estimated 30% reduction in LDL cholesterol from the treatment. In lipoprotein(a) cholesterol-adjusted analyses, total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol were adjusted for the lipoprotein(a) cholesterol content by subtracting 30% of the individuals' lipoprotein(a) total mass before total and LDL cholesterol were used for diagnosis of clinical familial hypercholesterolaemia. We used modified Dutch Lipid Clinic Network (DLCN), Simon Broome, and Make Early Diagnosis to Prevent Early Death (MEDPED) criteria to clinically diagnose familial hypercholesterolaemia. Cox proportional hazard regression calculated hazard ratios (95% CI) of myocardial infarction. Findings Using un…

“Some studies of individuals with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) have reported an increase in Lp(a) levels40-42, but others have not43-45 and suggested that the former may have been confounded by diagnostic ascertainment bias and/or unequal distributions of LPA risk alleles between FH and non-FH populations44,45.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
