Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic variant detected
Confirms diagnosis of CD79B Gene Agammaglobulinemia Type 6. Consult a specialist for treatment options.
No pathogenic variant detected
Does not rule out other genetic or non-genetic causes. Clinical correlation and additional tests may be needed.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)
Further analysis and family studies recommended. Genetic counseling advised.
If you experience recurrent infections, have a family history of immunodeficiency, or receive a positive test result, consult a hematologist or immunologist promptly.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all possible genetic variants or deep intronic mutations
- ⚠Results require interpretation by a genetic counselor or specialist
- ⚠Does not rule out other causes of immunodeficiency
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risks from blood draw, such as slight pain or bruising
- ●No significant risks associated with the genetic test itself
Interfering Factors
- ●Contaminated or degraded DNA sample
- ●Insufficient sample volume
- ●Recent blood transfusions may affect DNA analysis
