Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the COL2A1 gene. A positive result confirms Achondrogenesis type 2, while a negative result suggests no detected mutations, but clinical correlation is advised.
📊

Positive for COL2A1 mutation

Confirms diagnosis of Achondrogenesis type 2; genetic counseling recommended for family planning

📊

Negative for COL2A1 mutation

No pathogenic variants detected; consider other genetic or clinical causes if symptoms persist

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing or family studies may be needed for clarification

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if prenatal ultrasound shows skeletal abnormalities, if there is a family history of Achondrogenesis type 2, or if a newborn exhibits symptoms such as shortened limbs or respiratory distress.

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
  • Psychological impact of genetic diagnosis
