Understanding Your Results
Positive for pathogenic variant
Confirms diagnosis of FLNA-related neuronal intestinal pseudoobstruction. Recommend genetic counseling and targeted management.
Negative for pathogenic variants
FLNA gene mutation not detected. Consider other genetic or non-genetic causes; further clinical evaluation may be needed.
Variant of uncertain significance
Further analysis, including family studies and functional assays, is recommended to clarify clinical significance.
Consult a doctor if you experience persistent gastrointestinal symptoms such as chronic abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, or unexplained weight loss, especially with a family history of similar conditions.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all rare variants or structural changes in the FLNA gene
- ⚠Results require correlation with clinical symptoms and family history
- ⚠Genetic variants of uncertain significance may be identified, requiring further investigation
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk from blood draw: bruising, soreness, or rare infection at puncture site
- ●Psychological impact of genetic results, such as anxiety or stress
- ●Possible identification of variants of uncertain significance causing uncertainty
Interfering Factors
- ●DNA quality degradation due to improper storage
- ●Contamination during sample collection or processing
- ●Certain medications or treatments that may influence gene expression
