Limitations of the testing
The development of the test and the performance of the analyses are based on our current knowledge of the molecular biological data and it may change over time as more information becomes available. Due to the variability of biological material and the molecular biological methods used, in rare cases, the result of the test may appear to be invalid. In case of microbiome analysis. This may be due to Next Generation Sequencing being limited in distinguishing between live and dead microbes using bacterial 16S rRNA sequencing.
Interpretation of the results of microbiome analysis
The purpose of microbiome analysis is to describe the overall composition of genital tract bacteria, analyse its influence to individual’s health, and detect pathogenic bacteria.
- It should be taken into consideration that microbiome analysis is performed from vaginal/seminal/endometrial sample. The sample material of the test includes live microbes that may reproduce in the time period between sampling and analysing. Therefore, the percentage of microbes in sample material may change during long-term storage. Due to the above-mentioned reasons the results of the analysis may not reflect actual composition of genital tract bacteria.
- The method used in microbiome analysis does not allow distinguishing between live and dead microbes, and therefore the composition of microbes detected in analysis may not completely coincide with the actual composition of the bacteria affecting human organism.
- Reported composition of bacteria may not be complete, the absence of bacterium in the results does not exclude the actual presence of the bacterium in the genital tract.
- Microbiome analysis may not enable detection of the cause of disease or health problem despite detected findings. Even if microbiome analysis enables detecting the cause of disease health problem, the information may not aid in prognosis or treatment of disease.
- Every individual may be adjusted to living with one’s microbiome, therefore themicrobiome composition different from reference group may not certainly cause infertility,diseases or health problems. Nevertheless, a microbiome similar to reference group may not exclude occurring health problems.
- Microbiome composition is one of the factors in infertility, the causes of diseases and health problems; environment and lifestyle influences play also an important role.
- Drug (especially antibiotics) consumption, diseases, age, stress, pregnancy, sexualbehavior, lifestyle and environmental factors are all contributing to microbiome compositionsignificantly. Recommendations included in results report may not be complete and may not affect microbiome composition in foreseen and desirable direction.
- In the interpretation of microbiome analysis, it should be taken into consideration that current knowledge on the impact of bacteria on their human host, may be incomplete. The current interpretation of microbiome analysis may be subjected to change in the future due tooth publication of new scientific investigations.
- Celvia is not responsible for legal, material, social, psychological, or moral consequences that may appear in association to the results of microbiome analysis.
