Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic
This variant is the likely cause of the patient's condition.
Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)
It is not known whether this variant is the cause of the condition; further testing or family studies may be needed.
No variant found
No disease-causing variants were identified in the analyzed genes.
Additional findings
A pathogenic variant outside the initial analysis scope was found, which may have clinical implications.
Consult a doctor or genetic counselor if symptoms persist, for interpretation of results, or to discuss implications for family members.
Limitations
- ⚠Does not cover non-coding regions of the genome
- ⚠May not detect all types of mutations (e.g., large structural variants)
- ⚠Variants of uncertain significance may require further investigation
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minor bruising or discomfort at the blood draw site
- ●Rare risk of infection
- ●Emotional impact of genetic findings
Interfering Factors
- ●Poor sample quality
- ●Contamination during collection
- ●Insufficient DNA yield
