Neonatal familial hyperalphalipoproteinemia.

C J Glueck, P M Gartside, R C Tsang

    Metabolism: Clinical and Experimental
    |May 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Familial hyperalphalipoproteinemia can be diagnosed in infancy. Measuring high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in cord blood aids in early identification of this genetic lipid disorder.

    Area of Science:

    • Genetics
    • Cardiovascular Science
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Familial hyperalphalipoproteinemia is an inherited lipid disorder.
    • Early diagnosis is crucial for managing cardiovascular risk.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To ascertain a kindred with familial hyperalphalipoproteinemia across four generations.
    • To evaluate the utility of cord blood high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels for early diagnosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Ascertainment of a family with a history of familial hyperalphalipoproteinemia.
    • Measurement of cord blood HDL-C levels in a neonatal case.
    • Family studies and longitudinal follow-up.

    Main Results:

    • Identified four-generation vertical transmission of familial hyperalphalipoproteinemia.
    • Elevated cord blood HDL-C levels were observed in the neonatal case.
    • Confirmed diagnosis through family studies and follow-up.

    Conclusions:

    • Quantitation of cord blood HDL-C is a valuable tool for diagnosing familial hyperalphalipoproteinemia in infancy.
    • Early diagnosis enables timely intervention and management of this genetic condition.
