Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of FGFR1 gene mutations, which are associated with solid tumor development.
📊

No mutation detected

Normal FGFR1 gene; lower risk of FGFR1-related solid tumors

📊

Mutation detected

Abnormal FGFR1 gene; increased risk of solid tumors and potential for targeted therapy

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms like persistent pain, swelling, or unexplained weight loss occur, or if results indicate mutation, consult an oncologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all FGFR1 mutations or variants
  • ⚠False positives or negatives possible due to technical issues
  • ⚠Results should be correlated with clinical findings and other tests

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Biopsy risks: bleeding, infection, or discomfort at collection site
  • ●Minimal risk from genetic testing itself

Interfering Factors

  • ●Poor sample quality or insufficient tissue
  • ●Contamination during sample collection or storage
  • ●Improper handling or storage conditions
