Sample Collection
Ensure a doctor's prescription is available. For blood samples, no fasting is required. For prenatal samples, follow specific medical guidance.
Method: Venipuncture for blood; amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling for prenatal samples
Laboratory Analysis
Sample collection is performed by trained phlebotomists or medical professionals. For blood, a venipuncture is done; for amniotic fluid or chorionic villi, specialized procedures are required.
Report Delivery
Apply pressure to the puncture site for blood samples. Store samples as per instructions and transport to the lab promptly.

Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Sample improperly labeled or contaminated
- Insufficient sample volume
- Sample not stored or transported correctly
Understanding Your Results
Consult a cardiologist or geneticist immediately if test results are positive, or if symptoms persist despite negative results. Genetic counseling is recommended for family planning.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all genetic variants or novel mutations
- ⚠Results require clinical correlation and genetic counseling
- ⚠Limited to genes included in the panel; does not cover all cardiac conditions
Risks & Considerations
- ●For blood draw: Minor bruising, pain, or infection at puncture site
- ●For prenatal samples: Risk of miscarriage or infection (rare)
- ●Psychological impact of genetic results
Interfering Factors
- ●Sample contamination during collection or transport
- ●Degraded DNA due to improper storage
- ●Presence of inhibitors in the sample affecting sequencing
