Understanding Your Results
Positive for KCNQ1 mutation
Confirms genetic cause of Atrial Fibrillation Type 3; recommend genetic counseling and family screening.
Negative for KCNQ1 mutation
No pathogenic variants detected in the KCNQ1 gene; clinical correlation and further testing may be needed.
Variant of uncertain significance
Genetic variant found but clinical significance is unclear; follow-up and additional studies recommended.
Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms of atrial fibrillation, have a family history of the condition, or receive a positive genetic test result for further evaluation and management.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all genetic variants or mutations
- ⚠Results require interpretation by a genetic counselor or specialist
- ⚠Does not rule out other causes of atrial fibrillation
- ⚠Limited to KCNQ1 gene analysis only
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
- ●Psychological impact from genetic results
- ●Potential for uncertain findings requiring further investigation
Interfering Factors
- ●Sample contamination
- ●Degraded DNA quality
- ●Recent blood transfusions
- ●Use of certain medications that may affect DNA integrity
