Summary

This study aims to screen 15,000 children aged 1-3 and their parents for familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic condition that causes very high cholesterol and early heart disease. Researchers will use a simple finger-prick blood test to measure cholesterol and check for specific gene mutations. The goal is to find out how common these mutations are in Chinese children and set normal cholesterol levels for this age group.
