4. Causes

As mentioned, mixed hyperlipidemia is an inherited condition. It has been difficult to learn about the condition because of its similarities with other medical conditions. Some data has been obtained on how likely children are to get it from their parents, however, and how dangerous it can be.

If both parents have the gene responsible then it might mean the severity of the patient’s symptoms are doubled. If only one parent has the gene then the patient has a 50% chance of not inheriting the condition at all. Further research is being carried out into the causes, which might take us closer to a cure.
