Which element discusses the uncertainties or limitations of the test results?

• A. Limitations
• B. Indication
• C. Methods
• D. Familial implications

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that uncertainties and what the test might miss are described in the limitations. This part of a report explains what the test can and cannot detect, including how sensitive or specific it is, what kinds of variants or conditions it might fail to identify (such as mosaicism or certain structural changes), and other factors like sample quality or coverage gaps. It also notes when results are inconclusive or when additional testing could be needed to confirm or refine the interpretation. Knowing these limits helps clinicians interpret a negative result with caution or decide if further testing is warranted. In contrast, the indication explains why the test was ordered, the methods describe how the test was performed, and familial implications discuss how results affect relatives and inheritance risk.
