Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Clotted or hemolyzed samples
- Insufficient sample volume
- Incorrect sample container
- Unlabeled or mislabeled samples
Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic variant detected
Confirms diagnosis of FGA gene afibrinogenemia. Genetic counseling and management recommended.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)
Further testing or family studies may be needed for clarification.
No pathogenic variant detected
Afibrinogenemia due to FGA mutations unlikely, but other causes should be investigated.
Consult a hematologist or genetic specialist if you experience unexplained bleeding, have a family history of bleeding disorders, or receive a positive genetic test result.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all rare or novel mutations
- ⚠Requires genetic counseling for interpretation
- ⚠Does not measure fibrinogen protein levels directly
- ⚠Results may take 3-4 weeks due to complex analysis
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risks from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
- ●Psychological impact of genetic results
- ●Potential for uncertain results requiring further testing
Interfering Factors
- ●Hemolyzed or clotted blood samples
- ●Improper sample storage or transport
- ●Recent blood transfusions may affect DNA analysis
- ●Contamination during sample collection
