Understanding Your Results
No pathogenic variant detected
Low genetic risk for tested skin disorders; consider other causes.
Pathogenic variant detected
Increased risk for specific skin condition; consult genetic counselor for management.
Variant of uncertain significance
Further testing or family studies may be needed for clarity.
Consult a dermatologist or geneticist if results show pathogenic variants, or if symptoms persist despite negative results.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all genetic variants due to technical limitations
