Phytosterolemia is specific genetic disorder that can mimic FH, cause premature atherosclerosis, and require specific pharmacotherapy. Cascade testing for pathogenic ABCG5/G8 variants can lead to earlier detection and treatment of affected family members.Loh Wann Jia...

The major complications of FH include tendon and cutaneous xanthomas and coronary artery disease (CAD) associated with a substantial elevation of serum low-density lipoprotein levels (LDL). Genetic counseling and genetic testing for FH is useful for its diagnosis, risk stratification, and motivation ...
Germline testing -when normal cells in the body (such as blood or cells from a cheek swab) are tested for genetic mutations that may be inherited and increase the risk of cancer Somatic tumor testing- when cells from a known cancer are tested for mutations that may affect prognosis or deter...
Although genetic testing for FH, when available and affordable, should ideally be offered to most individuals with clinical phenotype suggestive of FH, it is underutilized in most countries. Therefore, FH diagnosis in the majority of cases is made by combining cholesterol levels and clinical ...
All cases of PPGL are recommended genetic testing for germ line variants regardless of patient and family characteristics. At minimum, FH, NF1, RET, SDHB, SDHD and VHL should be tested. In addition, testing of MEN1, SDHA, SDHAF2, SDHC, TMEM127 and MAX is recommended. Healthy first‐...
[28]. Increasing access to screening and genetic testing for FH within the Malaysian community is essential for the early detection, prevention, and effective management of this genetic condition [22]. In this case study, genetic testing was performed in a proband with FH using trio-based ...
Lp(a) and the new markers FABP3 e FABP4 are associated with FH, their levels are modulated by the use of statins, and they could be potential markers to assess the disease when genetic testing is not available. KBG is grateful to Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico...
Genetic testing companies and health care providers are teaming up to incorporate genetic testing in clinics to drive better health outcomes. One successful example is the partnership between Helix and The Renown Institute for Health Innovation (Renown IHI), the latter being a collaboration...
