Health care providers’ experiences with genetic testing in patients at risk for hereditary angioedema

The study found that HCPs consider genetic testing during a diagnostic workup for HAE; however, many lack confidence in ordering and/or interpreting results. The findings of this study suggest a need for (1) HCP education on the process of genetic testing in HAE; (2) increased collaboration with genetic specialists; and (3) reduction of perceived barriers to genetic testing, such as sponsored testing programs.
