Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Hemolyzed or clotted blood samples
- Insufficient sample volume
- Improperly labeled or contaminated samples
- Samples stored incorrectly beyond stability period
Understanding Your Results
Positive for Pathogenic Variants
Actionable mutations detected; consider targeted therapies or clinical trials as per oncologist guidance.
Negative for Pathogenic Variants
No actionable mutations found; standard treatments may be recommended.
Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)
Further testing or monitoring may be needed; consult genetic counselor for implications.
Multiple Mutations Detected
Complex genetic profile; personalized treatment plan required with multidisciplinary team.
Consult an oncologist or genetic specialist if symptoms persist, for treatment planning based on test results, or for genetic counseling regarding cancer risk.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all genetic mutations due to technical limitations
- ⚠Results require clinical correlation and are not standalone diagnostic
- ⚠Cannot identify structural variants or epigenetic changes
- ⚠Turnaround time of 3-4 weeks may delay urgent decisions
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
- ●Psychological impact of results, including anxiety or distress
- ●Potential for incidental findings unrelated to current condition
Interfering Factors
- ●Poor sample quality or insufficient DNA
- ●Contamination during sample collection or processing
- ●Hemolyzed or degraded blood samples
- ●Previous treatments affecting tumor DNA
