What is the GenLDL test?
GenLDL is a test for diagnosing familial hypercholesterolemia—also known as hereditary hypercholesterolemia (FH). By analyzing mutations in three genes (LDLR, PCSK9, and APOB), the results are a strong indication of risk for the disease. These test results have strong diagnostic value in supporting physicians and patients in selecting appropriate goals and treatment plans, establishing safe cholesterol thresholds (compared to those with normal hypercholesterolemia), and preventing dangerous complications, thereby improving survival rates (correct treatment prolongs the expected longevity).
EARLY PREVENTIVE SCREENING
FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
LIFETIME VALUE GENETIC TESTING
OPTIMIZING THE COST OF SCREENING(*)
People with genetic mutations have a
Threefold increased risk
of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease with the same blood LDL-C index.
- Scientific research published on the National Institute of Health website, USA -
Scope of the test
The test is recommended by
The American College of Cardiology
The European Society of Cardiology
Who should perform GenLDL?
Untreated: (e.g., male < 55 years old, female < 60 years old)Individuals who have one of the three following criteria should perform the test:
1. High LDL cholesterol:
2. Family history of early coronary heart disease/early heart disease
3. If a family member has the disease, it is recommended that all members should be tested.
What do you get from the test package?
Genetic counseling from geneticists
The team of experts and geneticists at Gene Solutions are always available to accompany you before and after each test and provide recommendations based on the results
