Expert analysis:
　　
One of the most common genetic defects is called hereditary hypercholesterolemia (FH). It is said that there are more than 500,000 people with FH in the United States. Their cholesterol levels are astonishingly high (300-500), and their triglyceride levels are almost normal. Most people with FH have an early family history of heart disease: men are generally between 40 and 55 years old, and women are between 50 and 65 years old.

The dangers of hereditary hypercholesterolemia: FH increases the probability of heart disease by 20 to 25 times. What is even more frightening is that it can cause heart disease in people as young as 20 years old.
