- Hemolyzed sample
- Insufficient sample volume
- Improper labeling
Understanding Your Results
Positive for pathogenic variant
Confirms diagnosis of distal arthrogryposis type 2A
Negative for pathogenic variant
No mutation detected; clinical correlation recommended
Variant of uncertain significance
Further testing or family studies may be needed
If symptoms persist, family history is positive, or for genetic counseling after test results.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all types of mutations
- ⚠Results require clinical correlation
- ⚠Limited to MYH3 gene analysis only
Risks & Considerations
