Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic variant detected
Confirms diagnosis of AGS Type 7. Genetic counseling and management planning advised.
Likely pathogenic variant detected
Suggests high likelihood of AGS Type 7. Clinical correlation and follow-up recommended.
Variant of uncertain significance
May require additional testing or family studies. Consult genetic specialist.
No pathogenic variant detected
AGS Type 7 unlikely. Consider other genetic or clinical causes for symptoms.
Carrier status identified
Individual carries one mutation. Family planning and genetic counseling recommended.
Consult a neurologist or geneticist if symptoms persist, worsen, or if there is a family history of AGS or similar disorders.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all genetic variants
- ⚠Requires clinical correlation for diagnosis
- ⚠Interpretation should be done by a genetic specialist
