Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the BICC1 gene. Positive results suggest increased risk for renal cystic dysplasia, while negative results may not rule out other genetic causes.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variant

Confirms genetic susceptibility; recommend clinical evaluation and monitoring.

📊

Negative

No BICC1 mutations detected; consider other genetic or non-genetic causes.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing and family studies may be needed.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a nephrologist or geneticist if symptoms persist, family history is positive, or test results indicate mutations.

Limitations

  • May not detect all genetic variants
  • Results require clinical correlation
  • Limited to known mutations in BICC1 gene

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal physical risk from blood draw
  • Psychological impact of results
  • Potential for incidental findings

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Degraded DNA quality
