Understanding Your Results
Positive for pathogenic mutation
Confirms diagnosis of Wolfram Syndrome Type 2 or carrier status. Genetic counseling recommended.
Negative for pathogenic mutation
No CISD2 gene mutations detected. Does not completely rule out other genetic causes if symptoms persist.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)
A genetic variant was found but its clinical significance is unknown. Further testing and family studies may be needed.
Carrier status
Heterozygous mutation detected; individual is a carrier. Risk of passing to offspring if partner is also a carrier.
Consult a doctor if you or a family member experience symptoms such as hearing loss, vision loss, diabetes, bladder problems, or balance issues, especially with a family history of Wolfram Syndrome. Genetic counseling is advised before and after testing.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all types of mutations (e.g., large deletions)
- ⚠Requires genetic counseling for interpretation
- ⚠Results may have variants of uncertain significance (VUS)
- ⚠Not a substitute for clinical evaluation
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk from blood draw (bruising, infection)
- ●Psychological impact of genetic results
- ●Potential for uncertain results requiring further testing
Interfering Factors
- ●Sample contamination
- ●Degraded DNA
- ●Hemolyzed blood samples
- ●Improper sample storage
