Understanding Your Results
Positive for pathogenic variant
Confirms genetic diagnosis of Long QT syndrome type 9. Recommend clinical evaluation, family screening, and management strategies.
Negative for pathogenic variant
No mutations detected in the CAV3 gene. Consider other genetic causes or clinical assessment if symptoms persist.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)
Genetic variant found but clinical significance unknown. Requires further investigation and genetic counseling.
Consult a cardiologist or geneticist if you experience symptoms like fainting, seizures, or have a family history of sudden cardiac arrest, regardless of test results.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all genetic variants or novel mutations
- ⚠Requires genetic counseling for interpretation
- ⚠Results should be correlated with clinical findings
- ⚠Limited to analysis of the CAV3 gene only
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
- ●Psychological impact of genetic results
- ●Potential for uncertain results requiring further testing
Interfering Factors
- ●Poor sample quality or contamination
- ●Recent blood transfusions
- ●Inadequate sample volume
- ●Technical errors in sequencing
