Abstract excerpt

AIM: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an underdiagnosed autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by high levels of plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) from birth. This study aimed to assess the genetic identification of FH in children with high LDL-C levels who are identified in a universal pediatric FH screening in Kagawa, Japan. METHOD: In 2018 and 2019, 15,665 children aged 9 or 10...
