Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Insufficient sample volume
- Improperly labeled or unlabeled samples
- Contaminated or hemolyzed samples
- Incorrect sample type or container
Understanding Your Results
Positive for pathogenic variants
Increased genetic susceptibility to hypertriglyceridemia; recommend lifestyle modifications, monitoring, and possible medical consultation.
Negative for pathogenic variants
No detected genetic variants in analyzed genes; risk may be influenced by other factors; maintain healthy lifestyle.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)
Further research needed; clinical correlation and follow-up recommended.
Consult a geneticist, lipid specialist, or cardiologist if results indicate positive for genetic variants, or if there is a family history of hypertriglyceridemia or cardiovascular disease.
Limitations
- ⚠Test may not detect all genetic variants associated with hypertriglyceridemia
- ⚠Results indicate susceptibility, not diagnosis; clinical correlation is essential
- ⚠Genetic risk factors interact with environmental and lifestyle factors
- ⚠Test accuracy depends on sample quality and sequencing technology
Risks & Considerations
- ●Potential psychological impact of genetic results, such as anxiety
- ●Data privacy concerns related to genetic information
- ●No physical risks beyond standard blood collection
Interfering Factors
- ●DNA quality issues due to sample degradation
- ●Sample contamination during collection or processing
- ●Incorrect sample storage conditions
