Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the CTH gene. A positive result confirms cystathioninuria, while a negative result suggests no pathogenic variants detected.
📊

Positive

Pathogenic variants detected in CTH gene, confirming cystathioninuria.

📊

Negative

No pathogenic variants detected, cystathioninuria unlikely.

📊

Variant of Uncertain Significance

Further testing or clinical correlation may be needed.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:
