Check if you have high cholesterol from genes
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial focuses on people referred to a cholesterol (lipid) clinic to help identify inherited high cholesterol. It tests an “interpretive comment” approach to nudge detection—meaning it may help clinicians recognize who is most likely to have familial hypercholesterolemia.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were referred to a lipid (cholesterol) clinic in Southern Denmark
- Your LDL cholesterol is high: at least 4 mmol/L if you’re under 40
- Your LDL cholesterol is high: at least 5 mmol/L if you’re 40 or older
- You are not pregnant
- You do not have a secondary cause of high cholesterol, such as poorly controlled diabetes or thyroid problems
- You do not have very high triglycerides, nephrotic syndrome, recent bile-flow problems, or medication-caused high cholesterol

This trial focuses on people with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), an inherited condition that causes very high cholesterol. It aims to better understand and manage severe cholesterol problems that raise heart risk, especially in families.
This study aims to find and help people with very high cholesterol, which can run in families. If you or your child have high cholesterol, this study may help you understand your risk and get the right care.
This registry collects information from people with inherited high cholesterol to better understand the condition and care needs. You may be invited to share blood and medical test results, especially your cholesterol and related health history.
This study looks at children who may have inherited high cholesterol, especially when one parent is affected. It may help doctors detect the condition earlier and understand how it runs in families.
This study tests a digital screening method to help identify and diagnose familial hypercholesterolemia, an inherited condition that can cause very high cholesterol. If you participate, you may be invited to complete screening steps to see whether they can find the condition early.
This study uses a 'cascade testing' approach, where family members of people with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a genetic condition causing very high cholesterol, are tested to see if they also have it. The goal is to identify and test at-risk relatives early so they can get treatment to prevent heart problems.
