Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the IKBKB gene. Positive results confirm Immunodeficiency Type 15, while negative results may require further testing.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms diagnosis of Immunodeficiency Type 15; recommend genetic counseling and treatment.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

Unlikely to have Immunodeficiency Type 15; consider other genetic or non-genetic causes.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing or family studies may be needed for clarification.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If experiencing recurrent infections, chronic inflammation, autoimmune symptoms, or a family history of immunodeficiency disorders.

Limitations
