Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the MYH6 gene. Positive results confirm a genetic basis for sick sinus syndrome type 3, while negative results may require further testing.
📊

Positive

Pathogenic variant detected in MYH6 gene, confirming genetic cause for SSS type 3. Consult a cardiologist for management.

📊

Negative

No pathogenic variant detected. Consider other genetic or non-genetic causes. Clinical evaluation recommended.

📊

Variant of Uncertain Significance

Genetic variant found but clinical significance unknown. Genetic counseling and follow-up advised.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if experiencing symptoms like slow heartbeats, fainting, or dizziness, or if there is a family history of cardiac disorders. After testing, discuss results with a geneticist or cardiologist for personalized care.
