Popis: IMPORTANCE Familial hypercholesterolemia is characterized by impaired uptake of cholesterol in peripheral tissues, including the liver and the pancreas. In contrast, statins increase the cellular cholesterol uptake and are associated with increased risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus. We hypothesize that transmembrane cholesterol transport is linked to the development of type 2 diabetes. OBJECTIVE To assess the association between type 2 diabetes prevalence and familial hypercholesterolemia. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Cross-sectional study in all individuals (n = 63 320) who underwent DNA testing for familial hypercholesterolemia in the national Dutch screening program between 1994 and 2014. EXPOSURES Deleteriousness and nondeleteriousness of familial hypercholesterolemia mutations were based on literature or laboratory function testing. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor mutations were considered more severe than apolipoprotein B gene (APOB) mutations, and receptor-negative LDL receptor mutations were considered more severe than receptor-deficient mutations. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Prevalence of type 2 diabetes. RESULTS The prevalence of type 2 diabetes was 1.75% in familial hypercholesterolemia patients (n = 440/25 137) vs 2.93% in unaffected relatives (n = 1119/38 183) (P
