Heart disease remains the number one cause of death in the United States and around the world. In addition to known risk factors for heart disease, family history plays an important role. In the past decade, major advances have occurred at the intersection of genomics, heart disease and public health. Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a genetic disorder of cholesterol metabolism affecting millions of people, has emerged as public health genomics priority for preventing premature morbidity and mortality from heart disease. In addition, elevated lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) increases the risk of coronary heart disease, occur in 1 in 5 people, have a strong genetic basis, and accentuate the cardiovascular risk from FH and other risk factors.
