Challenges in the management of familial hypercholesterolemia: a case report
Inclisiran therapy has shown promising results for individuals with HeFH who experience statin intolerance. This therapy works by using a small interfering RNA (siRNA) to target the mRNA of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), which leads to a significant reduction of LDL-C levels. This approach can be an alternative for patients without significant reductions in LDL-C levels with PCSK9 inhibitor therapy. For HeFH patients with limited treatment options due to statin intolerance and genetic mutations, inclisiran can represent a promising therapeutic option.
