Worldwide medical teams unite to map rare cholesterol disorder

NCT ID NCT04815005

Summary

This international study aims to gather anonymous medical information from 1,000 people worldwide who have homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH), a rare genetic condition causing extremely high cholesterol from birth. Doctors from many countries will share patient data to better understand how this disease affects people differently across regions and what treatments work best. The study doesn't test new treatments but creates a shared database to help researchers develop better approaches in the future.
