Understanding Your Results

Results from the CD81 Gene Immunodeficiency NGS Genetic Test indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the CD81 gene. Interpretation should be done by a qualified geneticist or immunologist in conjunction with clinical findings.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms diagnosis of Immunodeficiency Common Variable Type 6. Further clinical evaluation and management recommended.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)

Genetic variant found but clinical significance unknown. Additional testing and family studies may be needed.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

No mutations associated with the disorder found. Does not completely rule out immunodeficiency; consider other genetic or non-genetic causes.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience recurrent infections, unexplained chronic symptoms, or have a family history of immunodeficiency. Genetic counseling is advised before and after testing.

Limitations

  • May not detect all genetic variants or epigenetic changes
  • Results require interpretation by a genetic specialist
  • Does not rule out other causes of immunodeficiency
  • Limited to known variants in the CD81 gene

Risks & Considerations

  • Minor bruising or pain at the blood draw site
  • Very low risk of infection
  • Psychological impact of genetic results

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Improper sample storage or handling
  • Hemolyzed blood samples
