Umbilical cord blood cholesterol was measured in 1800 consecutive unselected live births in a general hospital. Mean cholesterol (±1 SD) was 63.8±18.7, range 20–196 mg 100 ml. Cord blood cholesterol levels greater than 100 mg 100 ml (mean cord blood cholesterol±2 SD) were arbitrarily identified as elevated. Sixty-five neonates had cord blood cholesterol levels greater than 100 mg 100 ml. Of these 65 infants, both parents could be studied in 26 kindred, the mother only in 23 kindred, and neither parent in 16 kindred. Of the 26 parent pairs, nine mothers and two fathers were found to have Type II hyperlipoproteinemia. Of the 23 mothers of illegitimate, hypercholesterolemic infants, three were found to have Type II hyperlipoproteinemia. An infant and similarly affected mother or father with Type II hyperlipoproteinemia were then identified in 14 of 1800 consecutive live births. Five of ten siblings born to these 14 kindred had Type II hyperlipoproteinemia. Measurement of umbilical cord blood cholesterol in unselected populations offers promise in early diagnosis of neonatal and familial Type II hyperlipoproteinemia and should provide an opportunity for early therapy in a pediatric and young adult population prior to development of symptomatic or anatomic atherosclerosis.
