This study screens children and teens with certain chronic conditions (like heart defects or inflammatory bowel disease) for early signs of high cholesterol or other lipid problems. The goal is to find and manage these risks sooner.

This study looks at heart disease risk in children and young adults (ages 6-25) with long-term health conditions like certain heart, kidney, or diabetes disorders. The goal is to better understand and manage heart risks early.
This study checks children for a genetic condition that causes very high cholesterol from a young age. If found early, steps can be taken to lower heart disease risk later in life.
This study checks children ages 1 to 3 during routine care to see who may have familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic condition that causes high cholesterol. Early identification can help families learn about next steps and prevention.
This study looks at children who may have inherited high cholesterol, especially when one parent is affected. It may help doctors detect the condition earlier and understand how it runs in families.
This study aims to find and help people with very high cholesterol, which can run in families. If you or your child have high cholesterol, this study may help you understand your risk and get the right care.
This study tests whether checking a newborn's blood spot for a genetic condition that causes very high cholesterol can help detect it early. It may help families understand their baby's risk and start care sooner if needed.
