Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of genetic variants in the SULT2A1 gene linked to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Type 1. A positive result suggests a genetic predisposition, while a negative result does not rule out PCOS due to other factors.
📊

Positive

Pathogenic variant detected in SULT2A1 gene, indicating increased genetic risk for PCOS Type 1. Consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

📊

Negative

No pathogenic variants detected. PCOS may still be present due to environmental or other genetic factors. Clinical correlation is recommended.

📊

Variant of Uncertain Significance

A genetic variant was found, but its clinical significance is unknown. Additional testing or family studies may be needed.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you experience symptoms of PCOS such as irregular periods, excess hair growth, or infertility, or if you have a family history of PCOS, consult a healthcare provider for evaluation and possible genetic testing.

Limitations

  • Test only analyzes the SULT2A1 gene and may not detect all genetic causes of PCOS
  • Results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical symptoms and other diagnostic tests
  • Genetic variants of uncertain significance may require further investigation

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw: bruising, soreness, or rare infection at the puncture site
  • No significant risks associated with genetic testing itself, but results may cause emotional distress; genetic counseling is recommended

Interfering Factors

  • Poor sample quality or hemolysis
  • Contamination during collection or processing
  • Recent blood transfusion or stem cell transplant

Who should consider taking this test?
Women experiencing symptoms of PCOS such as irregular periods, excess hair growth, acne, or infertility, especially with a family history of PCOS or related endocrine disorders.
How is the test performed?
A blood sample is collected and analyzed using NGS technology to detect genetic variants in the SULT2A1 gene. Home collection is available.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result indicates the presence of a pathogenic variant in the SULT2A1 gene, suggesting a genetic predisposition to PCOS Type 1. Consult a doctor for further management.
What does a negative result mean?
A negative result means no pathogenic variants were detected, but PCOS may still be present due to other factors. Clinical evaluation is recommended.
Is the test painful?
The test involves a standard blood draw, which may cause a slight prick or discomfort, but it is generally not painful.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 3 to 4 weeks after sample collection.
