Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Hemolyzed or clotted blood sample
- Insufficient sample volume
- Improper labeling or documentation
- Contaminated or degraded sample
Understanding Your Results
Positive for pathogenic variant
Increased risk of Parkinson's disease; clinical correlation and genetic counseling recommended.
Negative
No known pathogenic mutation detected in the PARK7 gene; does not exclude Parkinson's disease.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)
Further testing or family studies may be needed for clarification.
Likely pathogenic variant
Probable genetic cause; follow-up with specialist advised.
If you experience symptoms like tremors, rigidity, or slowness of movement, or have a family history of Parkinson's disease, consult a neurologist or geneticist for evaluation.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all genetic variants or mutations
- ⚠Results require interpretation by a clinical geneticist
- ⚠Not solely diagnostic for Parkinson's disease
- ⚠Variant of uncertain significance (VUS) may be identified
Risks & Considerations
- ●Psychological impact of genetic results
- ●Potential for incidental findings
- ●Minimal risk from blood collection (e.g., bruising, infection)
Interfering Factors
- ●Sample degradation or contamination
- ●Low DNA yield or quality
- ●Hemolysis in blood samples
- ●Recent blood transfusions
