Difference between Familial hypercholesterolemia and Genetic disorder

Familial hypercholesterolemia vs. Genetic disorder

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder characterized by high cholesterol levels, specifically very high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL, "bad cholesterol"), in the blood and early cardiovascular disease. A genetic disorder is a genetic problem caused by one or more abnormalities in the genome.

Similarities between Familial hypercholesterolemia and Genetic disorder

Familial hypercholesterolemia and Genetic disorder have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cardiovascular disease, Diabetes mellitus, Dominance (genetics), Family history (medicine), Genetic disorder, Genotype, Hypertension, Obesity.

Dominance (genetics)

Dominance in genetics is a relationship between alleles of one gene, in which the effect on phenotype of one allele masks the contribution of a second allele at the same locus.

Family history (medicine)

In medicine, a family history (FH or FHx) consists of information about disorders from which the direct blood relatives of the patient have suffered.

Hypertension

Hypertension (HTN or HT), also known as high blood pressure (HBP), is a long-term medical condition in which the blood pressure in the arteries is persistently elevated.
