Test Parameters & Specifications
Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic variant detected
Confirms diagnosis of RBM20 gene cardiomyopathy; genetic counseling and cardiac monitoring recommended
Likely pathogenic variant detected
Suggests high risk for cardiomyopathy; further clinical correlation advised
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)
Clinical significance unknown; repeat testing or family studies may be needed
No pathogenic variant detected
RBM20 gene mutations not identified; consider other genetic or non-genetic causes
Consult a cardiologist or genetic specialist if you have symptoms of cardiomyopathy, a family history of the condition, or after receiving test results for personalized management.
