Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the ABCC9 gene. A positive result confirms genetic predisposition to atrial fibrillation type 12.
📊

Negative

No pathogenic variants detected in ABCC9 gene. Genetic cause unlikely.

📊

Positive

Pathogenic variant detected. Confirms diagnosis of atrial fibrillation type 12. Genetic counseling recommended.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing and family studies may be needed.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you experience symptoms of atrial fibrillation or have a family history of the condition, consult a cardiologist or geneticist for evaluation and testing.
