Day #8, Prevalence of Homozygous Familial Hypercholesteroleamia

We are now kicking off week 2 of FH Europe awareness campaign for #RareDiseaseDay 2020 for #HoFH. Today Prof. Miserez tells us about the prevalence of the condition. It is very important to understand that familial hypercholesteroleamia is common and impacts 1 in 250 people. Due to the nature of the condition - inheriting faulty genes from both of the parents, it makes is rare... and severe. This is why we need to #FindFH and #HoFH. #EarlierIsBetter
