Understanding Your Results

Interpretation of genetic test results should be performed by a qualified geneticist or healthcare provider, considering clinical context and family history.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variant

Likely diagnosis of DYT12; recommend genetic counseling and clinical management.

📊

Negative for pathogenic variant

Unlikely diagnosis of DYT12, but clinical correlation is advised if symptoms persist.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms such as sudden dystonia, tremors, or have a family history of DYT12. Genetic counseling is recommended before and after testing.

Limitations

  • ⚠Test may not detect all possible mutations in the ATP1A3 gene
  • ⚠Results require correlation with clinical findings and genetic counseling

Risks & Considerations
