Description
This panel contains genes associated with familial hypercholestrolaemia. Please note MBS funding for familial hypercholestrolaemia covers:
Characterisation of germline variants causing familial hypercholesterolaemia (which must include the LDLR, PCSK9 and APOB genes), requested by a specialist or consultant physician, for a patient:
(a) for whom no familial mutation has been identified; and
(b) who has any of the following:
·         (i) a Dutch Lipid Clinic Network score of at least 6;
·         (ii) an LDL-cholesterol level of at least 6.5 mmol/L in the absence of secondary causes;
·         (iii) an LDL-cholesterol level of between 5.0 and 6.5 mmol/L with signs of premature or accelerated atherogenesis

Please also refer to the Dyslipidaemia panel.
