Abstract Background and aims This study reports the first year follow-up of individuals enrolled in Brazil’s genetic cascade screening program for Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH), Hipercol Brasil. Predictors for the occurrence of cardiovascular (CV) events in individuals screened for FH were studied. Methods : This is an open prospective cohort of individuals who were included in a cascade genetic screening program for FH. The first prospective follow-up was carried out one year after patients received their genetic test result. Individuals included in this study were index cases (probands) and relatives with identified (M +) or not genetic mutations (M −). Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine predictive variables for the occurrence of CV events censored at one-year of follow-up. Results A total of 818 subjects were included, 47 first CV events were ascertained, with 14 (29.7%) being fatal. For index cases, the only factor independently associated with increased risk of CV events was the presence of corneal arcus (OR: 9.39; 95% CI: 2.46–35.82). There was an inverse association of CV events with higher HDL-cholesterol levels (OR: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.90–0.99). For M+ relatives, risk factors associated with increased CV events risk were diabetes mellitus (OR: 7.97; 95% CI: 2.07–30.66) and tobacco consumption (OR: 3.70; 95% CI: 1.09–12.50). Conclusions A high one-year incidence of CV events was found in this cascade-screening cohort. Predictors of events differed between index cases and relatives and can be useful for the development of preventive efforts in this highly susceptible group of individuals.
