4) Patients who gave a written informed consent. If patients are under 16 years old, a written informed consent should be taken from their legally authorized representatives. If patients are 16 to 19 years old, a written informed consent should be taken from both patients and their legally authorized representatives.
Key exclusion criteria
1) Patients whose serum triglyceride level is over 400 mg/dl at the time of registration should be excluded.

Results
762 heterozygous and 7 homozygous FH patients were enrolled. CAD was recorded in 23% of patients. Patients without CAD with LDL-C < 100mg/dL, 12.3% and those with CAD with < 70 mg/dL, 1.8%. Male gender, age > 40, FH score < 20, hypertension, and sibling CAD were significantly positively associated with CAD. Male gender, CAD at the baseline, and parental CAD were related to the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events.

Baseline Characteristics
Xanthoma or thickening of Achilles tendon was observed in more than 80% of patients. CAD was recorded in 23% of patients. Patients with parental and sibling CAD accounted for 47% and 24%, respectively. At baseline, patients without CAD who had LDL-C <100 mg/dL accounted for 12.3% and those with CAD who had attained the target (LDL-C <70 mg/dL) in the secondary prevention accounted for only 1.8%. In the multiple logistic analysis, male gender, age>40, heterozygous FH score >20, hypertension, and sibling CAD were significantly positively associated with prevalent CAD while serum HDL-cholesterol showed a significant inverse association with CAD. Patients treated with statin alone, statin + ezetimibe, statin + resin, or statin + probucol were 31.1%, 26.3%, 4.0%, and 3.7%, respectively. Patients treated with three-drug combination (statin + ezetimibe + resin or statin + ezetimibe + probucol) accounted for 7.5%. Statins were used in 88.0% of patients, and ezetimibe in 48.0% of patients at the baseline. Although high-intensity statins were mainly prescribed, the doses of statins were much smaller than those reported in the western countries.
Participant flow
The FAME Study enrolled 762 heterozygous (including 17 newly diagnosed cases) and 7 homozygous FH patients from hospitals and clinics nationwide. Diagnosis of FH was based upon the criteria defined in the Study Report in 2008 of Research Committee on Primary Hyperlipidemia supported by Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare.
Adverse events
There was no concern regarding the long-term safety of lipid-lowering drugs.
Outcome measures
CAD was diagnosed in 17 patients with 21 episodes during follow-up. The Cox hazard model analysis demonstrated that male gender, CAD at the baseline, and parental CAD were related to the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) events. Furthermore, an increase in serum HDL-C was associated with a significant reduction of ASCVD events, while serum LDL-C and triglyceride levels were not related to ASCVD events.
