Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of genetic variants in the C7 gene. Positive findings may confirm C7 deficiency, while negative results suggest no pathogenic variants detected.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Likely diagnosis of C7 deficiency; increased infection risk; recommend clinical evaluation.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

C7 deficiency unlikely; consider other causes for symptoms.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing and clinical correlation needed.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms of recurrent infections persist, worsen, or if family history suggests genetic risk.

Limitations

  • May not detect all genetic variants; clinical correlation required
  • Results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical history and other tests

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risks from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
  • Genetic testing may have psychological implications

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Improper sample storage
  • DNA degradation
