Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic
Clinical action: Confirms diagnosis; guide treatment and family screening
Likely Pathogenic
Clinical action: Consider additional evidence; may guide management
Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)
Clinical action: Further testing or family studies may be needed
Benign/Likely Benign
Clinical action: No clinical action required
Consult your physician or genetic counselor if you have a family history of genetic disorders, have been diagnosed with cancer, or if you are considering reproductive planning. Also, consult if you have unexplained symptoms that may have a genetic basis.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect large structural variants or repeat expansions
