Study of cardiovAscular Contrasted Phenotypes in Patients With FamIliaI hypercholesteRolemia
Study of cardiovAscular Contrasted Phenotypes in Patients With FamIliaI hypercholesteRolemia
The main objective of SAFIR is to identify the atherosclerotic genetic factors in these patients, which will identify new therapeutic targets for the treatment of CV and Familial Hypercholesterolemia diseases. In addition, SAFIR will allow the identification of new CV protection biomarkers, which will be useful tools for the development of a personalized medicine for the management of dyslipidemias.
The objective of the SAFIR study is to perform non-invasive coronary vascular phenotyping of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) families by performing a coronary calcium score and then to detect protective genetic factors in patients who do not have a significant atheroma despite a perturbed biological phenotype.
The investigators will also conduct biochemical, lipidemic and metabolomic analyzes to identify a signature of biomarkers protective of cardiovascular risk in FH patients.
The investigators will use the French FH register, which already includes 3889 patients, to identify these "protected" FH families within the main reference centers for the management of FH for inclusion and follow-up of patients.
Inclusion Criteria:

40 year old men and 50 year old women: less than 6 months old
41 year old men and 51 year old women: under 1 year old
42 year old men and 52 year old women: under 2 years old
43 year old men and 53 year old women: under 3 years old
44 year old men and 54 year old women: under 4 years old
Inclusion criteria to be met in the related population with familial hypercholesterolemia :
Inclusion criteria to be met in the related population without familial hypercholesterolemia :
Exclusion Criteria:
The exclusion criterion for all populations except the related population without familial hypercholesterolemia:
- Subject with no "definite" familial hypercholesterolemia according to the DLCN score (≤8), after auction. The purpose of the auction will be to rule on the causal nature of an identified mutation.
