Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the FUS gene. Positive results confirm a genetic basis for essential tremor type 4, while negative results may require further clinical evaluation.
📊

Positive

Pathogenic FUS gene mutation detected, associated with essential tremor type 4. Recommend genetic counseling and neurological consultation.

📊

Negative

No pathogenic variant detected. Consider other causes of tremor and clinical correlation.

📊

Variant of Uncertain Significance

Genetic variant found but clinical significance unknown. Further testing and family studies may be needed.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a neurologist or geneticist immediately if results are positive, or if symptoms persist or worsen despite negative results.

Limitations

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

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risks from blood draw, such as slight pain, bruising, or infection at the puncture site
  • ●Psychological impact of genetic results; counseling is recommended

Interfering Factors

  • ●Contaminated or degraded DNA sample
  • ●Improper sample storage or handling
  • ●Recent blood transfusions may affect results
