Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the CETP gene associated with hyperalphalipoproteinemia.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variant

Increased risk of hyperalphalipoproteinemia and related cardiovascular conditions

📊

Negative for pathogenic variants

No mutations detected; reduced genetic risk

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Requires further testing and genetic counseling

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you have symptoms of cardiovascular disease, a family history of hyperalphalipoproteinemia, or high HDL cholesterol levels, consult a geneticist or cardiologist.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all genetic variants
  • ⚠Results require genetic counseling for interpretation
  • ⚠Not diagnostic for all cases of hyperalphalipoproteinemia

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risk from blood draw (bruising, infection)
  • ●Psychological impact of genetic results
  • ●Potential for uncertain findings requiring further testing

Interfering Factors
