Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Hemolyzed or lipemic samples
- Insufficient sample volume
- Improperly labeled samples
Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic variant detected
Confirms diagnosis of IGF1 deficiency. Clinical management and genetic counseling recommended.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)
Further testing and family studies may be needed for clarification.
No pathogenic variant detected
IGF1 deficiency unlikely, but clinical correlation is advised if symptoms persist.
If a child exhibits symptoms such as growth retardation, deafness, or developmental delays, or if there is a family history of IGF1 deficiency.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all genetic variants, including deep intronic mutations
- ⚠Results require clinical correlation and genetic counseling
- ⚠Does not rule out other genetic causes of similar symptoms
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minor pain or bruising at the blood draw site
- ●Rare risk of infection
- ●Psychological impact of genetic results
Interfering Factors
- ●Sample contamination
- ●Improper sample storage or handling
- ●Hemolyzed blood samples
- ●Recent blood transfusions
