Understanding Your Results
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.
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
