First seen Apr 30, 2026 · Last updated Jun 06, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study looks at the best way to inform family members about their risk for two inherited conditions: Long QT Syndrome and Familial Hypercholesterolemia. Researchers will compare having the study team directly contact relatives versus asking the patient to contact them. About 200 adults who carry a specific gene variant will participate, and their first-degree relatives can get free, at-home genetic testing.
