Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Hemolyzed or clotted blood samples
- Insufficient sample volume
- Unlabeled or mislabeled samples
- Contaminated samples
Understanding Your Results
No increased genetic risk for microvascular complications; maintain standard diabetes care.
Increased susceptibility to complications; recommend enhanced monitoring, lifestyle modifications, and possible preventive therapies.
Further testing or clinical correlation needed; genetic counseling advised.
Consult a geneticist, endocrinologist, or healthcare provider if you have diabetes, a family history of complications, or if test results indicate increased risk, to discuss personalized management plans.
Limitations
- ⚠Cannot predict exact timing or severity of complications
- ⚠Does not replace regular clinical monitoring
- ⚠Genetic risk may be influenced by other factors like lifestyle
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal physical risk from blood draw (e.g., bruising, infection)
- ●Potential psychological impact of genetic risk information
- ●False sense of security if results are negative; risk still exists from other factors
Interfering Factors
- ●Poor sample quality or contamination
- ●Insufficient DNA yield
- ●Sample degradation
