Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the AIP gene. Positive results suggest an increased risk for pituitary adenomas and related conditions.
📊

Positive (Mutation Detected)

Increased risk for AIP gene pituitary adenoma; recommend clinical evaluation and genetic counseling.

📊

Negative (No Mutation Detected)

No pathogenic variant identified; risk may be lower but clinical correlation is advised.

📊

Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)

Further testing and family studies may be needed; consult a geneticist.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms such as headaches, visual disturbances, or hormonal imbalances persist, or if genetic test results are positive or uncertain.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all genetic variants
  • ⚠Requires genetic counseling for interpretation
