Inheriting High Cholesterol

More than 90 percent of patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), or inherited high cholesterol, do not know they have it. Left untreated, the condition often leads to early, life-threatening cardiovascular problems. Listen to an Exploring Genetics talk by Sanford Imagenetics for a deep dive into this common, frequently undiagnosed disorder and learn how health care is working to find and diagnose FH patients. This presentation is given by Bethany Tucker, MS, CGC; Gabe Kringlen, MS, CGC; and Jennifer Leonhard, MS, CGC with Sanford Imagenetics.
