    Implementation of state-based cascade testing centres for autosomal dominant conditions using familial hypercholesterolaemia as the exemplar
    17 Nov 2025
    Project leaders:
    • Sarkies M
    This research program will apply implementation science methods to enhance the uptake of clinical genetics and preventative care into routine policy and practice. We will implement and evaluate the barriers and system changes required to establish cascade testing centres for autosomal dominant conditions using familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) as an exemplar.
