Understanding Your Results

Results from the FLT3 Gene Mutation Test are interpreted to determine the presence of mutations. Positive results indicate mutations associated with increased risk for blood cancers.
Negative: No FLT3 mutations detected. Lower risk for associated malignancies, but clinical correlation is advised.
Positive for FLT3-ITD or FLT3-TKD: Indicates the presence of mutations linked to acute myeloid leukemia. Consult an oncologist for further evaluation and treatment planning.
Inconclusive: Repeat testing or additional tests may be recommended.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you experience symptoms such as fatigue, fever, bone pain, or if the test results indicate a mutation, consult a hematologist or oncologist promptly.
