Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the DNAH5 gene. A positive result confirms PCD3 diagnosis, while a negative result may require further testing.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variant

Confirms diagnosis of PCD3. Genetic counseling recommended.

📊

Negative for pathogenic variant

PCD3 unlikely but clinical correlation advised. Consider other genetic tests.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further family studies or functional analysis may be needed.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if symptoms persist, for genetic counseling, or to discuss test results and management options.
