Answer
Hypercholesterolemia develops from inadequate LDL receptors. LDL receptors are proteins that bind to LDL particles in the blood and transport them to the liver for disposal. If there are not enough LDL receptors, LDL particles can build up in the blood, leading to high cholesterol levels. High cholesterol levels can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.
