Understanding Your Results
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.
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
