Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] level are the most common inherited disorders of lipid metabolism. This study evaluated the impact of high Lp(a) level on accuracy Dutch Lipid Clinic Network (DLCN) criteria of heterozygous FH diagnosis. A group of 206 individuals not receiving lipid-lowering medication with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) >4.9 mmol/L was chosen from the Russian FH Registry. LDL-C corrected for Lp(a)-cholesterol was calculated as LDL-C − 0.3 × Lp(a). DLCN criteria were applied before and after adjusting LDL-C concentration. Of the 206 patients with potential FH, a total of 34 subjects (17%) were reclassified to less severe FH diagnosis, 13 subjects of them (6%) were reclassified to “unlike” FH. In accordance with Receiver Operating Characteristic curve, Lp(a) level ≥40 mg/dL was associated with FH re-diagnosing with sensitivity of 63% and specificity of 78% (area under curve = 0.7, 95% CI 0.7−0.8, p < 0.001). The reclassification was mainly observed in FH patients with Lp(a) level above 40 mg/dL, i.e., 33 (51%) with reclassified DLCN criteria points and 22 (34%) with reclassified diagnosis, compared with 21 (15%) and 15 (11%), respectively, in patients with Lp(a) level less than 40 mg/dL. Thus, LDL-C corrected for Lp(a)-cholesterol should be considered in all FH patients with Lp(a) level above 40 mg/dL for recalculating points in accordance with DLCN criteria.
家族性高胆固醇血症(FH)和脂蛋白(a)[Lp(a)]水平升高是最常见的遗传性脂质代谢紊乱。本研究评估了高Lp(a)水平对荷兰脂质诊所网络(DLCN)杂合子FH诊断标准准确性的影响。从俄罗斯FH登记处选取了一组206名未接受降脂药物治疗且低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)>4.9 mmol/L的个体。校正Lp(a)胆固醇后的LDL-C计算为LDL-C - 0.3×Lp(a)。在调整LDL-C浓度前后应用DLCN标准。在206例潜在FH患者中,共有34名受试者(17%)被重新分类为病情较轻的FH诊断,其中13名受试者(6%)被重新分类为“不像”FH。根据受试者工作特征曲线,Lp(a)水平≥40 mg/dL与FH重新诊断相关,敏感性为63%,特异性为78%(曲线下面积 = 0.7,95% CI 0.7 - 0.8,p < 0.001)。重新分类主要见于Lp(a)水平高于40 mg/dL的FH患者,即33例(51%)DLCN标准点数重新分类,22例(34%)诊断重新分类,而Lp(a)水平低于40 mg/dL的患者分别为21例(15%)和15例(11%)。因此,对于所有Lp(a)水平高于40 mg/dL的FH患者,应考虑校正Lp(a)胆固醇后的LDL-C,以便根据DLCN标准重新计算点数。
