Understanding Your Results

Results from the ICK Gene Endocrine-cerebroosteodysplasia NGS Genetic Test are interpreted by genetic specialists. A positive result indicates the presence of pathogenic mutations in the ICK gene, confirming ECO syndrome. A negative result suggests no detectable mutations, but clinical correlation is advised. Variants of uncertain significance may require further analysis.
📊

Positive

Pathogenic mutation detected in ICK gene, consistent with ECO syndrome diagnosis.

📊

Negative

No pathogenic variants detected. Clinical symptoms may be due to other causes.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Genetic variant found but significance unknown. Further testing or family studies recommended.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you or your child exhibit symptoms such as short stature, developmental delays, skeletal abnormalities, or other signs of ECO syndrome. Also, consult after receiving test results for appropriate management and genetic counseling.
