Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic Variant Detected
Confirms genetic cause of cardiomyopathy. Recommend clinical management, family screening, and genetic counseling.
Likely Pathogenic Variant Detected
High probability of genetic association. Further clinical evaluation and family testing advised.
Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)
Insufficient evidence for pathogenicity. Monitor clinically and consider reanalysis with new data.
No Pathogenic Variants Detected
MYH6 mutations not identified. Consider other genetic or environmental factors. Clinical correlation recommended.
Consult a cardiologist or genetic specialist if you experience symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, or have a family history of cardiomyopathy. After testing, discuss results with a healthcare provider for personalized management.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all genetic variants, including large deletions or duplications
- ⚠Results require clinical correlation and genetic counseling
- ⚠Variants of uncertain significance may need further investigation
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal physical risks from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
- ●Psychological impact of genetic results, requiring counseling support
- ●Potential for uncertain results leading to anxiety
Interfering Factors
- ●Poor sample quality or insufficient DNA
- ●Contamination during sample collection or processing
- ●Technical limitations of NGS in detecting certain variant types
