Genetic testing for familial hypercholesterolaemia: practical and ethical issues.

QJM : monthly journal of the Association of Physicians - 1 Mar 1997

Humphries S E, Galton D, Nicholls P

Abstract excerpt

Coronary artery disease (CAD) has a strong genetic component, but is also greatly influenced by environmental factors such as diet and smoking, and disorders such as diabetes mellitus and hypertension. This interaction makes prediction of CAD risk generally difficult. However, in familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH), risk of early CAD is considerably increased by the mutation of a single gene, and genetic testing...
