Abstract
A rare life-threatening condition known as homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is characterized by markedly elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the blood and accelerated, premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD) [1] . It is clinically characterized by extensive xanthomas, marked premature and progressive ACVD
