Study for inherited high cholesterol in families
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial focuses on people with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), an inherited condition that causes very high cholesterol. It aims to better understand and manage severe cholesterol problems that raise heart risk, especially in families.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or close family) have a history of very high cholesterol
- You (or close family) have a history of heart disease at an early or severe level
- You have signs linked to FH, such as cholesterol buildup in tendons or fatty spots in the eye
- You have a family history of FH specifically
- You have severe problems with cholesterol or other blood fats

This trial aims to identify kids and teens who may have inherited high cholesterol (especially LDL) and may be at higher risk for early heart artery disease. It may help families learn about their risk and ensure the right follow-up and treatment plan.
This registry collects information from people with inherited high cholesterol to better understand the condition and care needs. You may be invited to share blood and medical test results, especially your cholesterol and related health history.
This registry study collects information from people with familial hypercholesterolemia (a genetic condition causing very high cholesterol) to better understand the disease and improve care. By participating, you help researchers learn more about this condition.
This trial focuses on people referred to a cholesterol (lipid) clinic to help identify inherited high cholesterol. It tests an “interpretive comment” approach to nudge detection—meaning it may help clinicians recognize who is most likely to have familial hypercholesterolemia.
This trial is a global registry that collects health and genetic information from people with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and sometimes from their relatives. The goal is to better understand FH and how it presents, which can help improve care for families affected by high cholesterol.
This trial is about helping families with familial hypercholesterolemia (a genetic condition that causes very high cholesterol) get screened. It tests a way to reach close relatives so they can learn their risk and consider next steps.
