Delays in East GLH Familial Hypercholesterolaemia Genomic testing service
Dear Colleagues
We are experiencing delays in delivery of the East GLH Familial Hypercholesterolaemia genomic testing service. We are sorry for the impact of these delays on your patients.
The delays are due to ongoing pressures across our genomic services and increases in testing volume. Work is ongoing across the Cambridge Genomic Laboratory to resolve these delays.
If the results of genomic testing will affect imminent treatment decisions for any of your patients, we can prioritise their testing. For these patients, please mark their test order form as urgent and tell us the reason for urgency to enable the team to prioritise testing appropriately.
If you have already ordered a test and a result is now considered urgent, please send the relevant details to the Cambridge Genomics Laboratory - geneticslaboratories@nhs.net
