Understanding Your Results

Results are interpreted based on the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the AR gene, with genetic counseling recommended for understanding implications.
📊

Positive

Pathogenic variant detected, indicating Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome or related disorder.

📊

Negative

No pathogenic variants detected, suggesting no genetic basis for AIS.

📊

Variant of Uncertain Significance

Genetic variant found but clinical significance is unknown; further testing may be needed.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms of AIS are present, such as ambiguous genitalia or infertility, or if there is a family history of the condition.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all types of mutations
  • ⚠Requires genetic counseling for accurate interpretation
  • ⚠Results may have variants of uncertain significance

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
  • ●Genetic privacy concerns
  • ●Emotional impact of results

Interfering Factors
