Brief Answer:
Zap 70 no significance in you

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

Your blood counts are quite normal. So zap70 has got no significance. We do zap70 for further risk stratification of CLL or similar disorders. Here none is suspected.

In any case zap 70 is borderline only.

So I don't see any immediate concern, even with your family history.

Hope this helps.
Regards
