Who can join

Age: 5 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: accepted.

You may qualify if…

• 26 living members of a family with HDL levels greater than 90mg/dl and several of whom will act as related age matched controls.
• The investigators will also identify individuals in a lipid core database with HDL's of greater than 90mg/dl who have normal or low LDL and triglyceride levels and determine if they have normal or low LDL and triglyceride levels and determine if they have family members (parents or siblings) who also have high HDL cholesterol.

You may not qualify if…

• Individuals who are not a member of the study family and individuals with high HDL's and elevated LDL and/or triglycerides.
