Are Genetic Tests for Atherosclerosis Ready for Routine Clinical Use?

Circulation research - 19 Feb 2016

Paynter Nina P, Ridker Paul M, Chasman Daniel I

Abstract excerpt

In this review, we lay out 3 areas currently being evaluated for incorporation of genetic information into clinical practice related to atherosclerosis. The first, familial hypercholesterolemia, is the clearest case for utility of genetic testing in diagnosis and potentially guiding treatment. Already in use for confirmatory testing of familial hypercholesterolemia and for cascade screening of relatives, genetic...
