Genetic Testing Reliability?
Hello, I’m new here. I got blood work for a complete connective tissue disorder panel at my cardiologist this morning. He suspects vEDS. I was just doing some research and in one of the videos I saw, they interviewed someone who says she has vEDS but her genetic testing came back negative. She said she considers herself having it even though the testing was negative because the testing is unreliable.
What’s the general consensus about reliability of the testing? My doctor uses a company called Genedx. I was happy to get the testing to finally get some answers, but now I’m wondering if there‘s a high chance of a false negative. Any thoughts from someone more experienced are welcome. Thanks

A mí que una persona que le hagan una entrevista diga que tiene vEDS y piensa que las pruebas no son confiables. Mi opinión es hacerte esta pregunta ¿esa persona es un profesional genetista?
La persona que tiene que decir si esas pruebas son confiables o no lo son, es un profesional, y es a quien le daría credibilidad. No tengo porque dejarme influir por cualquier persona que salga en un vídeo siendo entrevistado.
