Description
Haralampos Milionis and co-authors report a 2026 conference study on finding inherited high cholesterol in Greek children by testing outward from known cases. The illness loads the blood with harmful cholesterol from birth and speeds artery disease. The EPIRUS project screens families in northwestern Greece.
Two hundred thirty children aged four to sixteen met entry rules based on cholesterol levels or family history. Gene testing confirmed the illness in more than half. Those children had worse cholesterol profiles across the board and more early heart disease in close family. Stroke, though, was rare in the children and far less common than heart disease in their families. The authors read stroke as a later-life risk in this illness.
