Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic genetic variants in the tested genes. A positive result confirms a genetic basis for aHUS, while a negative result suggests other etiologies or the need for further testing.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms genetic aHUS; consider family screening and targeted therapy.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)

Requires clinical correlation and possible additional testing.

📊

No pathogenic variants detected

Genetic cause unlikely; evaluate for other causes of HUS.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a nephrologist or genetic specialist immediately if you experience symptoms like decreased urine output, blood in urine, or swelling, especially with a family history of aHUS.

Limitations

  • May not detect all genetic variants or novel mutations
  • Results require interpretation by a genetic specialist
  • Does not rule out non-genetic causes of HUS

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw, such as slight pain, bruising, or infection at the puncture site.

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination during collection or transport
  • Technical errors in NGS sequencing
  • Presence of hemolyzed or degraded DNA samples
