Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the DNAAF1 gene. Genetic counseling is recommended for interpretation.
Positive result: Pathogenic mutation detected, confirming PCD type 13
Negative result: No mutation found, but PCD cannot be ruled out if other genes are involved
Variant of uncertain significance: Requires further evaluation
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms of PCD are present, or for family planning if carrier status is identified.
