Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- DNA quantity below minimum requirement
- Degraded DNA as assessed by quality metrics
- Contamination detected
- Improper labeling or documentation
Understanding Your Results
Consult a doctor if the test reveals structural variants, especially if accompanied by symptoms like developmental delays, intellectual disability, or chronic health issues. Genetic counseling is recommended for families with a history of genetic disorders.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all types of structural variants
- ⚠Requires high-quality extracted DNA
- ⚠Limited to detection of large rearrangements; may miss small mutations
- ⚠Turnaround time may vary based on sample volume
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risks as it is a non-invasive lab test on provided DNA
- ●Potential for incidental findings requiring further evaluation
Interfering Factors
- ●Poor DNA quality or degradation
- ●Contamination with foreign DNA
- ●Insufficient DNA quantity
- ●Improper storage conditions
