Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the SLMAP gene. Positive results confirm genetic predisposition to Brugada Syndrome Type 9, while negative results suggest no detectable mutations, but do not exclude other genetic or non-genetic causes.
📊

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.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

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
