Understanding Your Results
Positive for pathogenic variant
Confirms diagnosis of AKT2-related hypoinsulinemic hypoglycemia with hemihypertrophy. Genetic counseling and management plan recommended.
Negative
No pathogenic variant detected. Other causes of hypoglycemia should be considered.
Variant of uncertain significance
Further testing and family studies may be needed. Consult a geneticist.
If you experience symptoms of hypoglycemia, such as dizziness, weakness, confusion, or seizures, or if you have a family history of genetic disorders, consult a healthcare provider immediately.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all types of mutations
- ⚠Variants of uncertain significance may be identified
- ⚠Does not assess other genetic causes of hypoglycemia
- ⚠Requires genetic counseling for interpretation
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minor bruising or soreness at the blood draw site
- ●In rare cases, infection or hematoma
Interfering Factors
