Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Hemolyzed sample
- Insufficient sample volume
- Improperly labeled samples
Understanding Your Results
Positive (Mutation Detected)
Consistent with MYD88 deficiency. Clinical correlation and genetic counseling recommended.
Negative (No Mutation Detected)
MYD88 deficiency unlikely. Consider other causes of recurrent infections.
Variant of Uncertain Significance
Further testing and family studies may be needed.
If you have recurrent bacterial infections, a family history of immune deficiencies, or if the test results are positive or uncertain.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all possible mutations
- ⚠Requires genetic counseling for interpretation
- ⚠Results should be correlated with clinical history
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk from blood draw (e.g., bruising, infection)
- ●Emotional impact of genetic results
- ●Potential for uncertain findings requiring further testing
Interfering Factors
- ●Sample contamination
- ●Improper sample storage
- ●Hemolyzed blood sample
