Helping families find FH risk through genetic testing
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks for family members of people with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a genetic condition that causes very high cholesterol. The goal is to help find and screen relatives who may also have FH, so they can get earlier care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You need to have regular access to email and be comfortable using it.
- You must not have taken part in a similar family testing program for FH before.

This trial is about helping families with familial hypercholesterolemia (a genetic condition that causes very high cholesterol) get screened. It tests a way to reach close relatives so they can learn their risk and consider next steps.
This trial is a global registry that collects health and genetic information from people with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and sometimes from their relatives. The goal is to better understand FH and how it presents, which can help improve care for families affected by 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 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 how familial hypercholesterolemia (a genetic condition that causes high cholesterol) affects mothers and their newborns. It aims to learn more about cholesterol levels during pregnancy and the baby's first week of life.
This study tests a “reach everyone” approach in primary care clinics to improve care for people with familial hypercholesterolemia (families with very high cholesterol). It may help families get recognized sooner and get the right follow-up.
