Understanding Your Results

Results from the CITED2 Gene VSD Type 2 NGS Genetic Test indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the CITED2 gene. A positive result may suggest a genetic contribution to VSD type 2, while a negative result indicates no pathogenic variants detected in the analyzed gene.
Positive result: Pathogenic variant detected; consult genetic counselor for implications.
Negative result: No pathogenic variants in CITED2 gene; other genetic or environmental factors may be involved.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS): Further testing or family studies may be recommended.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If your child exhibits symptoms such as rapid breathing, trouble feeding, difficulty gaining weight, pale or bluish skin color, frequent lung infections, or tiring easily during activity, consult a doctor immediately for evaluation and possible genetic testing.
