Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the TLL1 gene linked to atrial septal defect type 6. Interpretation should be done by a qualified geneticist or healthcare provider.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variant

Mutation detected in TLL1 gene, confirming genetic basis for ASD type 6. Consult genetic counselor for management and family planning.

📊

Negative for pathogenic variant

No mutation found in TLL1 gene. Clinical symptoms may require further diagnostic evaluation.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Genetic variant detected but clinical significance unknown. Additional testing or family studies may be needed.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms of atrial septal defect persist, if there is a family history of congenital heart defects, or after receiving test results, consult a cardiologist or geneticist for personalized advice.

Limitations

  • May not detect all genetic variants or mutations
  • Results require clinical correlation and are not standalone diagnostic
  • Cannot predict disease severity or onset with certainty
  • Limited to TLL1 gene analysis; other genetic factors may be involved

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
  • Potential psychological impact of genetic results
  • Concerns about genetic discrimination or privacy
  • False positives or negatives requiring further testing

Interfering Factors

  • Contaminated or degraded DNA sample
  • Insufficient sample volume or quality
  • Technical errors during sequencing or analysis
  • Patient medications or conditions affecting DNA integrity
