Understanding Your Results
Positive for pathogenic variant
Confirms diagnosis of PLN gene cardiomyopathy. Genetic counseling recommended.
Negative for pathogenic variant
No mutation detected. Clinical correlation advised.
Variant of uncertain significance
Further testing and family studies may be needed.
If you have a family history of heart disease, experience symptoms like shortness of breath or fatigue, or if test results are positive, consult a cardiologist or genetic counselor.
