Lipid Screening

Introduction: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal hereditary disease found in patients who have elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) from birth. Early detection and treatment of FH during childhood potentially reduces the risk of premature cardiovascular events. In Kagawa prefecture, a unique community health system, involving three steps, has been conducted to prevent lifestyle-related diseases for 10-year-old children. This system includes universal lipid screening, selection by pediatricians, and next-generation sequencing (NGS) of FH-related genes in hospitals. The aim of this study is to compare 3 international guidelines to detect pediatric FH with this unique community health system in Kagawa. Methods: In Kagawa prefecture, the universal lipid screening of approximately 8,000 children at 10 years of age is performed annually, covering over 90% of the target group. After excluding secondary hypercholesterolemia, pediatric clinics introduced children with LDL-C >140mg/dL to 4 designated hospitals to perform NGS. We applied the guidelines of the Dutch Lipid Clinic Network (DLCN), Simon Broome (SB), and the Japanese Atherosclerosis Society (JAS) to children who received NGS in the unique community health system in Kagawa. Results: We performed NGS for 46 children from January 2018 to February 2020 (LDL-C 186.0±50.3 mg/dL; Male/F 27/19) and 26 (57%) had FH genetic mutations (23 LDL-R and 3 PCSK9 mutations). Seventeen children met FH criteria for DLCN (35%), 10 for Simon Broome (22%), and 11 for JAS (24%), respectively. The combination of NGS and either of the 3 guidelines increased the number of children diagnosed as FH up to 31 (67%). Conclusion: International guidelines detected only half of pediatric FH who were diagnosed by the unique community health system in Kagawa. Further investigation will be required to build an effective universal screening system for pediatric FH.
