Understanding Your Results
Negative
No pathogenic variants detected; symptoms may be due to other genetic or environmental factors. Further clinical evaluation may be needed.
Positive
Pathogenic variants detected; confirms diagnosis of COG6 Gene Glycosylation Disorder Type 3. Genetic counseling and management planning are recommended.
Variant of uncertain significance
A variant was found but its clinical impact is unclear; repeat testing or family studies may be advised.
Consult a healthcare provider or genetic counselor if symptoms suggestive of COG6-related disorder are present, or if there is a family history of metabolic disorders.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all genetic variants or epigenetic changes
- ⚠Results require clinical correlation and genetic counseling
- ⚠Not suitable for prenatal diagnosis without additional validation
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
- ●Psychological impact of test results may require support
Interfering Factors
