Understanding Your Results
Mutation Detected
Positive for GPD1L gene mutation, indicating genetic risk for Brugada Syndrome Type 2. Clinical correlation and further evaluation recommended.
No Mutation Detected
Negative for known GPD1L mutations. However, clinical symptoms may still warrant monitoring, as other genes could be involved.
Variant of Uncertain Significance
A genetic variant was found but its clinical significance is unknown. Genetic counseling and follow-up testing may be advised.
Consult a healthcare provider if you have a family history of Brugada syndrome, experience symptoms like fainting or palpitations, or have abnormal ECG results. Genetic counseling is recommended before and after testing.
Limitations
