Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the COL2A1 gene. Positive results confirm genetic predisposition, while negative results may require further clinical evaluation.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variant

Confirms diagnosis of COL2A1-related osteoarthritis with mild chondrodysplasia. Recommend genetic counseling and management plan.

📊

Negative for pathogenic variant

No mutations detected in COL2A1 gene. Consider other genetic or non-genetic 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 healthcare provider if symptoms like joint pain, stiffness, or skeletal abnormalities are present, or if family history suggests hereditary conditions.

Limitations

  • May not detect all genetic variants
  • Requires genetic counseling for interpretation
  • Results should be correlated with clinical findings
  • Limited to COL2A1 gene analysis only

Risks & Considerations

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

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Degraded DNA
  • Hemolyzed blood sample
  • Incorrect sample storage
