Only a few studies have investigated the effect of maternal hypercholesterolemia on plasma lipids.
No differences in plasma levels of lipids in children with maternal compared to paternal FH.
No differences in CRP levels in children with maternal compared to paternal FH.
Children with LDL receptor negative mutations had higher total-and LDL cholesterol Maternal FH did not result in any detectable changes in offspring's lipid and CRP levels.
Future research with a wider spectrum of inflammatory markers is required.
