Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic variant detected
Confirms AR gene mutation as the cause of hypospadias. Genetic counseling and targeted treatment recommended.
No pathogenic variant detected
AR gene mutation not identified. Consider other genetic or environmental factors. Clinical correlation advised.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)
Further testing and family studies may be needed. Consult a geneticist for guidance.
Consult a doctor immediately if your infant shows symptoms of hypospadias, such as abnormal urethral opening or urinary issues. After genetic testing, consult a genetic counselor or specialist to discuss results and treatment options.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all possible genetic mutations or variants of uncertain significance
- ⚠Results require interpretation by a genetic counselor or specialist
- ⚠Does not replace clinical evaluation and other diagnostic tests
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risks from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
- ●No significant risks from saliva collection
Interfering Factors
- ●Sample contamination during collection or transport
- ●Degraded DNA due to improper storage
- ●Presence of inhibitors in the sample
