title: Neonatal familial hyperalphalipoproteinemia.
abstract: A kindred with four-generation vertical transmission of familial hyperalphalipoproteinemia was ascertained by measurement of elevated levels of cord blood high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (C-HDL) in a neonatal propositus. Quantitation of cord blood C-HDL coupled with family studies and longitudinal follow-up allows the diagnosis of familial hyperalphalipoproteinemia in infancy.
