About SingHealth Genomic Assessment Centre

Synonym(s):

The SingHealth Genomic Assessment Centre (GAC) has been established to support discussions on specific genetic conditions and facilitate genetic testing for eligible patients. At present, the GAC offers genetic testing for Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) – a genetic condition that affects the body’s ability to process cholesterol, thereby increasing the risk of heart disease by 20-fold and leading to premature heart attacks, if untreated. This hereditary condition can be effectively managed through early detection and intervention. Through the GAC, subsidised screening and genetic counselling will be extended to all first-degree relatives of patients diagnosed with FH.
