Understanding Your Results
Negative
No pathogenic mutations detected in the APC gene. Clinical correlation recommended.
Positive
Pathogenic mutation detected, confirming diagnosis of FAP. Genetic counseling and further management advised.
Variant of uncertain significance
A genetic variant was found, but its clinical significance is unclear. Further testing or family studies may be needed.
Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms of FAP, have a family history of the condition, or receive a positive genetic test result.
