Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic variant detected in ANKS3 gene, indicating increased risk for ASD. Further genetic counseling and clinical evaluation recommended.
Action: Consult a geneticist or neurologist for detailed management options and family planning.
Result type: Positive
No pathogenic variants detected in ANKS3 gene. However, ASD may have other genetic or non-genetic causes.
Action: Continue clinical assessment based on symptoms. Consider other genetic tests if indicated by healthcare provider.
Result type: Negative
A genetic variant of unknown clinical significance was found. Additional research or family studies may be needed to determine its impact.
Action: Genetic counseling to discuss implications, potential follow-up testing, and monitoring.
Result type: Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)
If your child or a family member exhibits symptoms of autism spectrum disorder such as delayed speech, social difficulties, repetitive behaviors, or sensory issues. Also, for families with a history of ASD considering genetic testing for diagnostic or planning purposes.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all genetic causes of ASD
- ⚠Results require clinical correlation
- ⚠Variants of uncertain significance (VUS) may be identified
- ⚠Does not rule out non-genetic factors contributing to ASD
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk associated with blood draw, such as bruising, soreness, or rare infection
- ●Psychological impact of genetic results, including anxiety, stress, or relief
- ●Potential for identifying variants of uncertain significance, leading to uncertainty and need for further testing
Interfering Factors
- ●Poor DNA quality due to improper sample handling
- ●Sample contamination
- ●Technical errors in sequencing
- ●Hemolyzed or degraded blood samples
