Genetic Testing Preferences and Intentions in U.S. Patients with Clinically Diagnosed Familial Hypercholesterolemia

2019-03-28

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Purpose</h4> Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a common Mendelian disorder characterized by elevated LDL cholesterol levels, which if untreated can cause premature heart disease. Less than 10% of cases in the US are diagnosed, and uptake of genetic testing is suboptimal. This study investigates decisionmaking factors associated with intentions to have FH genetic testing among patients c...
