Understanding Your Results
Consult a geneticist or healthcare provider if symptoms suggestive of ARC syndrome are present, for interpretation of test results, or for genetic counseling regarding family planning.
Limitations
- ⚠Cannot detect all types of genetic variations, such as large deletions or duplications in some cases
- ⚠Results may not identify variants of uncertain significance without further functional studies
- ⚠Test does not screen for other genetic disorders not related to VIPAS39
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minor bruising or discomfort at the blood draw site
- ●Emotional impact of test results, addressed through genetic counseling
Interfering Factors
- ●Poor sample quality or insufficient DNA quantity
- ●Contamination during sample collection or processing
- ●Recent blood transfusions may affect DNA analysis
