Understanding Your Results
Positive for pathogenic variant
Confirms genetic basis for orthostatic intolerance; consider targeted treatment and family screening.
Negative for pathogenic variants
No SLC6A2 gene variants detected; other causes of OI should be investigated.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)
Genetic variant identified but clinical significance unknown; further testing or monitoring may be needed.
Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms of orthostatic intolerance, such as dizziness, fainting, or heart palpitations, especially if they persist or worsen. Genetic counseling is recommended before and after testing.
Limitations
- ⚠This test may not detect all genetic variants due to technical limitations.
- ⚠Results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical findings and family history.
- ⚠Variants of uncertain significance (VUS) may be identified, requiring further evaluation.
Risks & Considerations
- ●Psychological impact of genetic results
- ●Potential for incidental findings
- ●Minimal risk from blood draw (e.g., bruising, infection)
