Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic genetic variants associated with increased breast cancer risk.
Positive result: Pathogenic variant detected, indicating increased risk; consult genetic counselor for management options.
Negative result: No pathogenic variants detected, but risk is not zero; follow standard screening guidelines.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS): Further testing or family studies may be needed for clarification.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you have a family history of breast cancer, symptoms such as breast lumps or changes, or receive a positive genetic test result, consult a healthcare provider or genetic counselor promptly.
