Type 2 Hyper Cholesterolemia?!


Question: My brother and I are 2 of the only people in our family who did not inherit this. As my dad and grandfather died of this at a very young age, I know a little bit about it...
*High cholesterol that your body makes, not controllable by diet change and exercise
*Inherited... if you're not born with it, you will not ever get it or be able to pass it along to your children

Question - I was just wondering, as medicine has changed, what else people can tell me about this horrible disease, what medical advancements have been made, if there is a cure for it, etc, etc... THANKS!

there is no cure for genetic hypercholesterolemia, but it can be controlled thru diet, exercise and the use of statin drugs.
