Understanding Your Results
Mutation detected
Presence of genetic alteration in one or more genes; consult a geneticist or oncologist for further evaluation.
No mutation detected
No alterations found in the tested genes; however, this does not rule out cancer entirely. Clinical correlation is advised.
Consult a doctor if you have a family history of cancer, experience symptoms like unexplained weight loss or persistent lumps, or if results indicate mutations.
Limitations
- ⚠Only tests for a predefined set of genes
- ⚠Does not detect all cancer types or mutations
- ⚠Results require interpretation by a genetic specialist
- ⚠Not a standalone diagnostic tool; clinical correlation needed
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk from blood draw (bruising, infection)
- ●Tissue biopsy may involve slight pain or bleeding
- ●Genetic results may have psychological impact
Interfering Factors
- ●Sample contamination
- ●Insufficient DNA quantity
- ●Hemolyzed blood samples
- ●Degraded tissue samples
