Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the FGFR1 gene. A positive result confirms Kallmann Syndrome Type 2, while a negative result may require further genetic testing if clinical suspicion remains high.
📊

Positive for FGFR1 mutation

Confirms diagnosis of Kallmann Syndrome Type 2. Genetic counseling and endocrine evaluation recommended.

📊

Negative for FGFR1 mutation

No pathogenic variants detected in FGFR1 gene. Consider other genetic tests or clinical evaluation.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing and family studies may be needed for clarification.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms such as delayed puberty, infertility, or loss of smell, especially with a family history of Kallmann Syndrome. Early diagnosis can facilitate appropriate management.
