- Hemolyzed or clotted samples
- Insufficient sample volume
- Improperly labeled or contaminated samples
Understanding Your Results
Positive for pathogenic variant
Confirms diagnosis of Brugada syndrome type 5. Risk of arrhythmias increased. Consult cardiologist for management.
Negative for pathogenic variant
No SCN1B mutations detected. Symptoms may be due to other causes. Clinical correlation recommended.
Variant of uncertain significance
Genetic change identified but clinical significance unknown. Further testing and family studies may be needed.
Consult a cardiologist or genetic specialist if you experience symptoms like fainting, palpitations, or have a family history of sudden cardiac death, regardless of test results.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all possible mutations in the SCN1B gene
- ⚠Variants of uncertain significance may be identified
- ⚠Does not rule out other genetic causes of Brugada syndrome
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risks from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
- ●Psychological impact of genetic results
- ●Potential for uncertain results requiring further testing
Interfering Factors
- ●Sample contamination
- ●Degraded DNA quality
