FH Genetic Testing Pathway
The East Genomic Laboratory Hub Familial Hypercholesterolaemia Genetic Testing Pathway provides guidance for healthcare professionals with patients with a high likelihood of FH.
FH testing form and guidance
The Test Order form can be completed electronically or printed and completed by hand. To complete electronically, please download the PDF form on this page onto your computer and open in Adobe software to enable electronic editing.
Cascade Testing for FH
Genetic testing is recommended for first and second degree relatives of patients with a known FH causing genetic variant. Test orders for cascade testing must include the details of the index patient and the genetic variant found in the family. Where this information is not provided, the sample will be extracted and stored and the East GLH will issue a report indicating the reason for non-acceptance of testing.
