Rader - Figure 27 - Considerations for genetic testing
The considerations in considering genetic sequencing in this patient should be to rule out sitosterolemia, optimize his therapeutic approach, and facilitating cascade screening of the family. For example, further testing in this patient might include measuring plasma phytosterol levels to rule out sitosterolemia; when this was done, the phytosterol levels turned out to be normal.
