Understanding Your Results

Results indicate whether pathogenic mutations in the CTRC gene are detected. Positive results confirm genetic predisposition to pancreatitis, while negative results suggest no known mutations, but do not exclude other genetic or environmental factors.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms hereditary pancreatitis due to CTRC gene mutation. Genetic counseling and management recommended.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

No known CTRC mutations identified. Consider other genetic or non-genetic causes if symptoms persist.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing or family studies may be needed. Consult a geneticist for guidance.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms of pancreatitis, have a family history of the condition, or receive positive or uncertain test results for further evaluation and management.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all genetic variants
  • ⚠Results require interpretation by a geneticist
  • ⚠Does not rule out other causes of pancreatitis

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risk from blood draw (e.g., bruising, infection)
  • ●Psychological impact of genetic results

Interfering Factors
