Understanding Your Results
Confirms diagnosis of CLN5 Gene Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Neuronal Type 5. Genetic counseling recommended for family planning and management.
CLN5 disease is unlikely, but clinical correlation is needed. Consider other genetic tests if symptoms persist.
If you experience symptoms such as seizures, vision loss, or cognitive decline, or have a family history of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, consult a neurologist or genetic specialist for evaluation and possible testing.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all possible variants in the CLN5 gene
- ⚠Results require interpretation by a genetic counselor or clinician
- ⚠Cannot rule out other genetic disorders
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
- ●Potential emotional impact from genetic diagnosis
Interfering Factors
- ●Hemolyzed blood sample
- ●Contaminated DNA
