Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the CD40 gene. A positive result confirms CD40 Gene Immunodeficiency Type 3 with Hyper-IgM, while a negative result may require further clinical evaluation.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms diagnosis of CD40 Gene Immunodeficiency Type 3 with Hyper-IgM. Recommend immunoglobulin therapy and infection management.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

CD40 gene mutation not identified. Consider other genetic or immunological tests if symptoms persist.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing or family studies may be needed for clarification.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you or your child experience recurrent infections, chronic diarrhea, failure to thrive, or have a family history of immunodeficiency, consult a healthcare provider for evaluation and possible genetic testing.

Limitations

  • May not detect all genetic variants in the CD40 gene
  • Results require interpretation by a qualified geneticist
  • Does not rule out other immunodeficiency disorders

Risks & Considerations

  • Minor bruising or discomfort at the blood draw site
  • Rare risk of infection or excessive bleeding

Frequently Asked Questions

What is CD40 Gene Immunodeficiency Type 3 with Hyper-IgM?
It is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the CD40 gene, leading to immune system dysfunction and characterized by low immunoglobulin levels and recurrent infections.
