@TheFHFoundation I think that many are surprised to hear this recommendation, but screening for FH should begin early in life- 2 years of age if there is a family history of premature heart disease. All children 9-11 and 17-21 years should undergo lipid screening. Nemours Children’s Cardiac Center American Academy of Pediatrics
