Understanding Your Results
Negative for FANCM mutations associated with Fanconi anemia type M; clinical correlation advised
Confirms diagnosis of Fanconi anemia type M; genetic counseling recommended for family members
Further testing, family studies, or functional assays may be needed for classification
If symptoms of Fanconi anemia (e.g., bone marrow failure, developmental delays) are present or if there is a family history of the disorder, consult a geneticist or hematologist promptly.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all types of genetic variants
- ⚠Variants of uncertain significance (VUS) may be reported
- ⚠Does not rule out other genetic conditions or environmental factors
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk from blood draw (e.g., bruising, infection)
- ●Emotional impact of genetic results on patients and families
Interfering Factors
- ●Inadequate sample quality
- ●Hemolyzed blood samples
- ●DNA degradation
- ●Technical errors during sequencing
