High cholesterol level can result from various causes which include: genetic (e.g. apo A-I deficiency, apolipoprotein B deficiency, apolipoprotein C2 deficiency, apoliprotein E deficiency, autosomal recessive hypercholesterolemia, familial combined hyperlipidemia, familial hypercholesterolemia); side effect of medications (e.g. antiretroviral therapy, beta blockers, corticosteroids); metabolic (e.g. metabolic syndrome, Niemann-Pick disease type B, obesity, Zieve's syndrome), endocrine (e.g. polycystic ovary syndrome, Werner syndrome) and many other conditions.
