Charts of 42 children with familial hypercholesterolemia from a dyslipidemia clinic were reviewed for initial cholesterol screen indication and cascade screening results. Indications were universal screening (8/28 after guideline release, none before), family history (26/42), risk factor (5/42), and other (3/42). Cascade screening identified 63 relatives with unknown familial hypercholesterolemia.
