Understanding Your Results
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.
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
