Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Hemolyzed or lipemic samples
- Insufficient sample volume
- Improperly labeled or contaminated samples
Understanding Your Results
Positive
Pathogenic variant detected, confirming diagnosis of SLC2A9 gene hypouricemia, renal type 2. Carriers may also be identified.
Negative
No pathogenic variants detected. Clinical correlation is needed as symptoms may have other causes.
Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)
A variant with unknown clinical impact. Further testing or family studies may be required for clarification.
If experiencing symptoms like recurrent kidney stones, chronic kidney disease, gout, or joint pain, or with a family history of hypouricemia or renal disorders.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all possible variants in the SLC2A9 gene
- ⚠Results require interpretation in clinical context and genetic counseling
- ⚠Does not rule out other genetic causes of hypouricemia
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
- ●Potential psychological impact of genetic results; genetic counseling helps mitigate
Interfering Factors
- ●Sample contamination
- ●Inadequate DNA quantity or quality
- ●Hemolyzed blood samples
