Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the CRYAB gene. A positive result may suggest increased risk for dilated cardiomyopathy, while a negative result does not completely rule out other causes.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variant

Mutation detected, associated with dilated cardiomyopathy type 1. Clinical correlation and genetic counseling recommended.

📊

Negative

No pathogenic variants detected in the CRYAB gene. Consider other genetic or non-genetic causes.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing and family studies may be needed for clarification.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you have symptoms of cardiomyopathy, a family history of heart disease, or if genetic testing results are positive or uncertain.

Limitations

  • ⚠Not all genetic variants may be detected
  • ⚠Results do not guarantee disease development
  • ⚠Requires clinical correlation for diagnosis

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minor pain or bruising at the blood draw site
  • ●Rare risk of infection
  • ●Psychological impact of genetic results
