hyperlipidemiasgeneticselectronic health recordsObjective Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is a common inherited disorder that remains mostly undetected in the general population. Through FH case-finding and direct access to genetic testing in primary care, this intervention study described the genetic ...
They usually appear in patients with homozygous FH but can also occur in patients with familial dysbetalipoproteinemia, sitosterolemia, or cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis and rarely in secondary hyperlipidemias, such as nephrotic syndrome.

For example, familial combined hyperlipidemia is an inherited disorder causing high blood levels of cholesterol and triglycerides. Abetalipoproteinemia, also called Apolipoprotein B deficiency or Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome, is a very rare genetic condition that can cause abnormally low levels of apo B....

Aetna considers genetic testing for CPVT medically necessary for the following indications: Member has either of the following: A first-degree relative (i.e., parent, full-sibling, child) with a confirmed CPVT mutation (Note: Test for known familial mutation); or A structurally normal heart and...
Genetic testing may be of value in making accurate diagnosis and improving cascade screening of family members, and potentially, in risk assessment and choice of therapy. This review focuses on using genetic testing in the clinical setting for lipid disorders, particularly familial hypercholesterolemia....
