Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Hemolyzed or clotted sample
- Insufficient sample volume
- Incorrect labeling
- Contaminated sample
Understanding Your Results
Positive (Mutation Detected)
Pathogenic variant identified; increased risk for pheochromocytoma. Genetic counseling and clinical follow-up recommended.
Negative (No Mutation Detected)
No pathogenic variant found in SDHD gene. Clinical correlation needed; other genetic or non-genetic causes may be considered.
Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)
Mutation detected but significance unclear. Further testing and family studies may be required.
Consult a doctor or genetic counselor if you have a family history of pheochromocytoma, experience symptoms like high blood pressure or rapid heartbeat, or receive a positive test result for guidance on management and screening.
Limitations
- ⚠Test may not detect all types of mutations, such as large deletions or rearrangements
- ⚠Results require clinical correlation and genetic counseling
- ⚠Limited to SDHD gene; other genetic causes not assessed
- ⚠False negatives possible in rare cases
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
- ●Psychological impact of genetic results
- ●Potential for uncertain results requiring further testing
Interfering Factors
- ●DNA degradation in sample
- ●Sample contamination
- ●Technical errors in sequencing
- ●Hemolyzed blood sample
