Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the NPM1, FLT3, and CEBPA genes. Mutations may suggest a diagnosis of AML and influence treatment options.
📊

Mutation detected in one or more genes

Positive for genetic mutations associated with AML. Consult an oncologist for further evaluation and treatment planning.

📊

No mutations detected

Negative for the tested mutations. However, clinical correlation is necessary as other genetic factors may be involved.

📊

Inconclusive result

Repeat testing or additional genetic tests may be recommended.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you experience symptoms of AML such as persistent fatigue, unexplained bleeding, or frequent infections, consult a doctor immediately. Also, consult if you have a family history of blood cancers.

Limitations

  • ⚠Only detects mutations in NPM1, FLT3, and CEBPA genes
  • ⚠May not detect all genetic variants associated with AML
  • ⚠Requires high-quality DNA sample
  • ⚠Results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical findings

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minor pain or bruising at the collection site
  • ●Rare risk of infection
  • ●For bone marrow aspiration, slight risk of bleeding or discomfort

Interfering Factors

  • ●Sample contamination
  • ●Improper sample storage
  • ●Recent blood transfusion
  • ●Use of certain medications that affect DNA
