Understanding Your Results
Positive for pathogenic MT-TH variant
Confirms genetic basis for cardiomyopathy; recommend cardiology follow-up and family screening.
Negative for pathogenic variants
No MT-TH mutations detected; consider other genetic or non-genetic causes if symptoms persist.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)
Further testing and clinical evaluation needed; genetic counseling advised.
Consult a cardiologist or geneticist if you experience symptoms of cardiomyopathy, have a family history of mitochondrial disorders, or receive a positive genetic test result.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all genetic variants
- ⚠Requires genetic counseling for interpretation
- ⚠Results should be correlated with clinical findings
Risks & Considerations
