Understanding Your Results
Positive for pathogenic variant
Confirms diagnosis of thyroid dyshormonogenesis type 6 due to DUOX1 gene mutation. Genetic counseling and targeted treatment recommended.
Negative for pathogenic variant
No mutations detected in the DUOX1 gene. Symptoms may be due to other genetic or non-genetic factors. Clinical correlation advised.
Variant of uncertain significance
A genetic variant was found, but its clinical significance is unknown. Further testing and family studies may be needed.
If you experience symptoms of thyroid dyshormonogenesis, have a family history of thyroid disorders, or receive abnormal test results, consult an endocrinologist or genetic specialist.
