[Hyperlipoproteinemia in children. Correlation between changes in the parents and newborn infant].
The families of 13 children who had presented hyperlipoproteinemia at birth were studied. Total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and electrophoresis of LP were performed. The parameters studied were divided in three groups: a) Inespecific indicators (alpha-LP, betas/alphas relation). b) Indicators of the beta-LP group (total and LDL cholesterol and beta-LP). c) Indicators of the prebeta-LP group (TG, prebeta-LP and prebeta-1). In all cases at least one of the parents had hyperlipoproteinemia. All the parents, but one, showed alterations in the same group of indicators as their children. Obesity, diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, coronary insufficiency, myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular accident where observed in the families of the hiperlipidemic parents, but not on those of the normolipemic parents.
