Understanding Your Results

The results of the FLG Gene Dermatitis NGS Genetic Test indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the FLG gene.
Positive for pathogenic mutation: Increased risk of atopic dermatitis; consider genetic counseling and targeted therapies.
Negative for pathogenic mutation: Lower genetic risk; other factors may contribute to symptoms.
Variant of uncertain significance: Further testing or clinical correlation may be needed.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you experience persistent skin symptoms, have a family history of eczema, or receive abnormal genetic test results, consult a dermatologist or genetic counselor.

Risks & Considerations
