Familial Hypercholesterolaemia Panel

The hidden cholesterol gene affecting 1 in 250 people

FH is massively under-diagnosed. This panel sequences LDLR, APOB, PCSK9 and LDLRAP1 — genes that when mutated cause dangerously high LDL from birth, regardless of diet.

From Result to Action

Turn data into action

Every finding in your report comes with a concrete next step. Here's what your results can unlock.

Get the Right Cholesterol Treatment

Most common finding

Triggered by: LDLR, PCSK9, or APOB variant identified

−76%

CV mortality reduction with treatment

Click to collapse

What this result reveals:

Whether your high cholesterol is diet-driven (addressable without medication) or genetically driven by LDLR/APOB/PCSK9 mutations (which require medication regardless of how clean your diet is).

Discuss high-intensity statin therapy with your cardiologist based on your specific variant type

If statin-intolerant: PCSK9 inhibitors are highly effective for PCSK9 GOF variants

Monitor LDL-C at 3 months after starting treatment — your genetic profile predicts your expected response

Treating FH from diagnosis reduces cardiovascular mortality by 76%. Most patients normalise LDL within 8 weeks of genetically-guided therapy.

Prevent Blood Clots & DVT

Is This Test Right for You?

Who benefits most

Family history of heart disease

A parent or sibling had a heart attack or stroke before 60. Genetics explain whether you've inherited the same vulnerability — and what to do about it.

On cardiovascular medication

Already taking statins or antihypertensives and want to confirm your genetics justify the treatment — and whether the current drug is actually the right one for your genotype.

Unexplained palpitations or chest pain

Standard ECGs are normal, but symptoms persist. Inherited arrhythmia and structural gene variants can cause serious events in otherwise healthy people.
