Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the SLC25A1 gene, which are associated with combined D-2- and L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms diagnosis of combined hydroxyglutaric aciduria; recommend clinical management and family screening.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

Condition unlikely based on genetic testing, but clinical correlation is advised if symptoms persist.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing or family studies may be needed; genetic counseling recommended.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If the patient exhibits symptoms such as developmental delay, seizures, hypotonia, or neurological abnormalities, or if there is a family history of metabolic disorders.

Limitations

  • May not detect all types of mutations (e.g., large deletions)
  • Requires clinical correlation and genetic counseling for interpretation
  • Results may have variants of uncertain significance

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw (e.g., bruising, infection)
  • Potential psychological impact of genetic results

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Degraded DNA
  • Improper sample handling
