Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic Variant Detected
Confirms diagnosis of Brugada Syndrome Type 9; risk assessment and management recommended.
Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)
Further testing and clinical correlation needed; genetic counseling advised.
No Pathogenic Variant Detected
Reduces likelihood of SLMAP-related Brugada Syndrome; consider other genetic or clinical evaluations.
Consult a cardiologist or genetic specialist if you experience symptoms like fainting, seizures, or irregular heartbeats, or if you have a family history of Brugada Syndrome or sudden cardiac arrest.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all genetic variants due to technical limitations
- ⚠Results require clinical correlation and genetic counseling
- ⚠Does not rule out other causes of Brugada Syndrome or cardiac disorders
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
- ●Psychological impact of genetic results; counseling available
- ●No direct physical risks from the genetic test itself
Interfering Factors
- ●Contaminated or degraded DNA samples
- ●Recent blood transfusions affecting DNA integrity
- ●Technical errors in sample collection or processing
