Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic Variant
High likelihood of affecting HDL cholesterol levels, increasing cardiovascular risk.
Likely Pathogenic Variant
Probable impact on HDL cholesterol; clinical correlation recommended.
Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)
Insufficient evidence; monitoring and further testing advised.
Likely Benign Variant
Low impact on HDL cholesterol; routine follow-up.
Benign Variant
No known effect on HDL cholesterol levels.
Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath, have abnormal lipid results, or a family history of cardiovascular disease to discuss testing and management.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all genetic variants
- ⚠Results require interpretation by a genetic counselor
- ⚠Does not measure actual HDL cholesterol levels
- ⚠Limited to known variants in databases
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minor pain or bruising at blood draw site
- ●Rare risk of infection at puncture point
