  Aegerion Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: AEGR  ) received FDA approval in late 2012 for Juxtapid in the treatment of HoFH. Soon afterward, the FDA approved another drug targeting HoFH, Kynamro, which was developed by Isis Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ISIS  ) and marketed by Sanofi's (NYSE: SNY  ) Genzyme unit.
