Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the FGFR1 gene. A positive result suggests a genetic predisposition to associated conditions, while a negative result indicates no detectable mutations.
📊

Negative

No pathogenic FGFR1 mutation detected. Risk of associated conditions is not elevated based on this gene.

📊

Positive

Pathogenic FGFR1 mutation detected. Increased risk for cancer, skeletal disorders, or developmental abnormalities. Genetic counseling recommended.

📊

Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)

A genetic variant was found, but its clinical significance is unknown. Further testing and monitoring may be advised.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a healthcare provider if you have symptoms of FGFR1-related disorders, a family history of genetic conditions, or if test results are positive for mutations.

Limitations

  • May not detect all possible FGFR1 mutations or variants of uncertain significance
  • Results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical findings and family history
  • Genetic counseling is recommended for comprehensive understanding

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or discomfort
  • Rare risk of infection at the collection site

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination or improper handling
  • Recent blood transfusions may affect DNA analysis
  • Insufficient sample volume or quality
