Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an extremely rare (1/1,000,000) condition characterized by markedly increased LDL cholesterol levels and a significantly increased risk of premature coronary heart disease (CHD). We aimed to evaluate the levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and proinflammatory cytokines, which are known to be associated with atherogenesis, in patients with this condition.
