Pathogenic variants causing FH typically involve the LDL receptor (LDLR), apolipoprotein B-100 (APOB), and proprotein convertase subtulisin/kexin type 9 genes (PCSK9) and if identified convey a risk of early onset coronary artery disease (ASCVD) of 3- to 10-fold vs. the general population depending on the severity of the mutation. This evidence concerns the gene PCSK9 and familial hyperaldosteronism.
