Hyperlipidemia involves abnormally elevated levels of any or all lipids and/or lipoproteins in the blood. Hyperlipidemia may basically be classified as either familial hyperlipidemia or acquired hyperlipidemia.Patients with untreated lipid disorders carry a severe risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and pancreatitis among others. To achieve better treatment outcome, novel selective gene expression and epigenetic targeting therapies are constantly being developed. Therapeutic innovations employing targeted RNA technology utilise small interfering RNAs, antisense oligonucleotides, long non-coding RNAs and microRNAs to regulate target protein production whereas viral gene therapy provides functional therapeutic genes and CRISPR/Cas technology relies on gene editing and transcriptional regulation
