Dyslipidemias are a clinically and genetically heterogenous group of disorders associated with abnormal levels of lipids and lipoproteins, including increased or decreased levels of LDL or HDL cholesterol or increased levels of triglycerides. Dyslipidemias can have a monogenic cause, or may be associated with other conditions such as diabetes and thyroid disease, or lifestyle factors. The most common subset of monogenic dyslipidemia is familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), which has an estimated prevalence of 1 in 200 in the Caucasian population. This panel includes sequence and deletion/duplication analysis of the listed genes.
