Understanding Your Results
Positive for pathogenic variant
Confirms diagnosis of CDSN Gene Hypotrichosis Type 2. Genetic counseling recommended for family planning and management.
Negative for pathogenic variant
No mutations detected in the CDSN gene. Consider other genetic or non-genetic causes of hair loss.
Variant of uncertain significance
Further testing or family studies may be needed to determine clinical significance.
Consult a doctor or genetic counselor if you experience persistent hair loss from birth, have a family history of hypotrichosis, or receive a positive test result for guidance on management and treatment options.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all possible variants in the CDSN gene
