Understanding Your Results
Positive for FAN1 mutation
Confirms diagnosis of karyomegalic interstitial nephritis. Genetic counseling and nephrology consultation recommended for management and family planning.
Negative for FAN1 mutation
No pathogenic variants detected. Clinical correlation needed; other causes of interstitial nephritis should be investigated.
Variant of uncertain significance
Further testing and family studies may be required. Consult genetic counselor for guidance.
Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms like decreased urine output, swelling, high blood pressure, or fatigue, especially with a family history of kidney disease. After receiving test results, seek guidance from a nephrologist or geneticist.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all genetic variants or mutations
- ⚠Requires genetic counseling for proper interpretation
- ⚠Results should be correlated with clinical findings and other tests
