Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the FREM1 gene. Positive results confirm a genetic cause for bifid nose, while negative results may require further testing.
Negative: No pathogenic variants detected, suggesting no FREM1 gene mutation
Positive: Pathogenic variant detected, confirming genetic etiology for bifid nose
Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS): Further evaluation and family studies may be needed
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a geneticist or specialist if results are positive or if there are clinical symptoms of bifid nose for management and counseling.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all genetic variants
  • ⚠Requires genetic counseling for interpretation
  • ⚠Results should be correlated with clinical findings

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risks from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
  • ●Psychological impact of genetic results

Interfering Factors

  • ●Sample contamination
