Understanding Your Results
Positive for pathogenic variant
Indicates increased risk for deafness and male infertility; further clinical evaluation and genetic counseling recommended.
Negative for pathogenic variant
No mutations detected in the CATSPER2 gene; symptoms may be due to other causes.
Variant of uncertain significance
Genetic variant identified but clinical significance unclear; additional testing and monitoring may be needed.
If you experience symptoms of hearing loss or infertility, or have a family history of these conditions, consult a healthcare provider for evaluation and possible genetic testing.
