Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Hemolyzed blood sample
- Clotted blood sample
- Insufficient sample volume
- Improper labeling
- Sample received after prolonged transit time
Understanding Your Results
Variant is associated with a disease phenotype; clinical correlation recommended.
Variant is likely to be disease-causing; further evidence may be needed.
Insufficient evidence to determine pathogenicity; additional family studies may be helpful.
Variant is not associated with disease.
If you have a family history of genetic disorders, are planning a family, or are involved in research requiring genomic data, consult a geneticist or your healthcare provider to discuss the appropriateness of this test.
Limitations
- ⚠Reference-based analysis may miss novel variants not present in the reference
- ⚠Structural variants in repetitive regions may be difficult to detect
- ⚠Interpretation of variants of unknown significance may be limited
- ⚠Not a diagnostic test for specific diseases without clinical correlation
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk of bruising or infection at the blood draw site
- ●No significant health risks associated with the test itself
Interfering Factors
- ●Poor DNA quality or degradation
- ●Contamination with non-target DNA
- ●Insufficient sequencing depth
- ●Reference genome inaccuracies
- ●Bioinformatics pipeline variations
