Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Hemolyzed sample
- Insufficient volume
- Incorrect labeling
Understanding Your Results
No pathogenic variants
Low genetic risk for cerebral malaria.
Pathogenic variant detected
Increased susceptibility to cerebral malaria; consult a genetic counselor.
If you have a family history of severe malaria, plan to travel to endemic areas, or have concerns about your genetic risk.
Limitations
- ⚠This test indicates susceptibility, not active infection.
- ⚠Does not replace diagnostic tests for malaria.
- ⚠Results may vary based on population genetics.
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk from blood draw: bruising, infection at puncture site.
Interfering Factors
- ●Sample contamination
- ●Degraded DNA
- ●Incorrect sample type
