Significant racial disparities exist in LDL-C control, statin adherence, and ASCVD risk assessment. The Pooled Cohort Equation (PCE) estimates risk but may lack precision for racial minorities.

She was referred for evaluation in Lipid Clinic, where she was also noted to have xanthelasma, with a subsequent calculated Dutch Lipid Clinic Network score of 9, consistent with definite familial hypercholesterolemia. Her atorvastatin was switched to rosuvastatin 40 mg daily, which again led to a less than expected response, with an on-treatment directly measured LDL cholesterol of 130 mg/dL. She was subsequently referred for genetic testing. Results from genetic testing showed two heterozygous loss-of-function variants in the ABCG8 gene, namely c.1608G &gt; A (p.Trp536*) and c.647_657dup (p.Arg220Valfs*37). Due to limitations of the genetic assay, it could not be determined whether the variants were present on the same or separate ABCG8 genes. Subsequent cascade testing of the patient's biological mother, who does not have a history of hypercholesterolemia (LDL 87 mg/dL) or premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, demonstrated the presence of only the c.1608G &gt; A (p.Trp536*) variant, suggesting that the patient is likely a compound heterozygote for ABCG8, resulting in a confirmed diagnosis of inherited sitosterolemia.

Data were extracted from the U.S. network of the TriNetX platform. A propensity score matching approach yielded a 1:1 matched cohort (n=3,397 for each group) for balanced comparisons.
