Understanding Your Results
Positive for pathogenic variant
Confirms diagnosis of LDB3 gene cardiomyopathy. Recommend genetic counseling, family screening, and cardiac monitoring.
Negative for pathogenic variant
No mutations detected in the LDB3 gene. Clinical correlation is advised if symptoms persist.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)
A genetic variant was found but its clinical significance is unknown. Further testing and family studies may be needed.
Consult a cardiologist or genetic specialist if you have a family history of cardiomyopathy, experience symptoms like shortness of breath or chest pain, or receive a positive test result for further management and family screening.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all types of mutations, such as large deletions or duplications
- ⚠Results require interpretation by a genetic specialist
- ⚠Does not rule out other genetic causes of cardiomyopathy
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
- ●Psychological impact of genetic results
Interfering Factors
- ●Poor sample quality or contamination
- ●Insufficient DNA quantity
- ●Recent blood transfusions may affect results
