GenLDL is a diagnostic test for hereditary hypercholesterolemia , also known as familial hypercholesterolemia ( FH ). By examining mutations in 3 genes ( LDLR, PCSK9, APOB ) , the results show whether you are at risk of developing the disease or not.
The test results have important diagnostic value to help doctors and patients determine the correct treatment goals and regimens , safe cholesterol thresholds (compared to normal hypercholesterolemia), prevent dangerous complications , and improve life expectancy (prolong life expectancy as predicted by doctors).
