Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic genetic variants in the chr. 11p15 region associated with Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variant

Confirms diagnosis of Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome; recommend cancer surveillance and genetic counseling.

📊

Negative for pathogenic variant

No mutations detected; clinical correlation advised if symptoms persist.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing or family studies may be needed for clarification.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms of BWS are present, family history suggests risk, or for guidance on test results and management.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all genetic variants or epigenetic changes
  • ⚠Requires genetic counseling for accurate interpretation
  • ⚠Results may have variants of uncertain significance

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risk from blood draw (e.g., bruising)
  • ●Psychological impact of genetic results
  • ●Potential for uncertain findings requiring further testing

Interfering Factors

  • ●Sample contamination
  • ●Degraded DNA quality
  • ●Technical errors in sequencing
