Join us to advocate for more research, better diagnosis, treatments, and even cures for the over 7,000 rare diseases we know about today - including homozygous FH.
We are bringing awareness to a rare, yet serious form of familial hypercholesterolemia called homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH).
Approximately 1 in 300,000 people from around the world suffer from this devastating condition that significantly accelerates heart disease.
Like many rare diseases, HoFH affects the very young, causing heart attacks and sudden death in childhood to young adulthood.
However, we can save lives if HoFH is identified and treated early.
There are treatments for HoFH, and now more than ever, new therapies are being developed. The FH Foundation is advancing the understanding of HoFH and advocating for new therapies - but we need your help.
Act today and help save a life.
