Understanding Your Results

The test results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the FANCC gene, which are associated with Fanconi Anemia Type C.
📊

Negative

No pathogenic variants detected in the FANCC gene. Clinical correlation is advised, as symptoms may be due to other causes.

📊

Positive

Pathogenic variant(s) identified in the FANCC gene, confirming a diagnosis of Fanconi Anemia Type C. Genetic counseling and further clinical evaluation are recommended.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you exhibit symptoms of Fanconi Anemia, have a family history of the disorder, or receive a positive test result, consult a healthcare professional promptly for diagnosis and management.

Limitations

  • May not detect all types of genetic variants, such as large deletions or deep intronic mutations
  • Requires confirmation with additional tests (e.g., Sanger sequencing) in some cases
  • Genetic counseling is recommended before and after testing to interpret results

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising, swelling, or infection at the puncture site
  • Rare risk of fainting or dizziness during venipuncture

Interfering Factors

  • Poor sample quality (e.g., hemolyzed or clotted blood)
  • Contamination during sample collection or processing
  • Insufficient DNA quantity or quality
