Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the ANLN gene. A positive result confirms genetic predisposition to FSGS Type 8, while a negative result suggests no known mutation, but does not rule out other causes.
📊

Positive

Pathogenic variant detected, indicating genetic cause for FSGS Type 8. Consult a nephrologist and genetic counselor.

📊

Negative

No pathogenic variant detected. Clinical correlation and further testing may be needed.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Genetic variant found but clinical significance unknown. Repeat testing or family studies recommended.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms of FSGS such as swelling, fatigue, or high blood pressure, or if you have a family history of kidney disease. After receiving test results, seek guidance from a nephrologist or genetic counselor.

Limitations

  • May not detect all possible mutations in the ANLN gene
  • Results require interpretation by a genetic specialist
  • Does not replace clinical diagnosis
  • Limited to known genetic variants

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
  • Psychological impact of genetic results
  • No significant physical risks

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • DNA degradation
  • Incorrect sample storage
  • Recent blood transfusion
