Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic variant detected
Confirms diagnosis of megaloblastic anemia type 1, Finnish type. Recommend vitamin B12 supplementation and genetic counseling.
No pathogenic variant detected
Unlikely to have this genetic form of anemia. Consider other causes and clinical evaluation.
Variant of uncertain significance
Further testing or family studies may be needed. Consult a geneticist for guidance.
Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms of anemia, have a family history of the condition, or receive a positive genetic test result for appropriate management and counseling.
