Raising Awareness of Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH)
Studies show that as few as 10% of people living with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) could be aware of their diagnosis. Could genetic testing expedite early diagnosis and timely treatment?
Considerations for whole exome sequencing
Whole exome sequencing can present a goldilocks option between targeted gene panels and whole genome sequencing. Dive into some of the considerations for adopting whole exome sequencing in your institution.
