Understanding Your Results
Positive for pathogenic mutation
Confirms genetic basis for atypical mycobacterial infection; consider immunological evaluation and family screening.
Negative for mutation
No IKBKG mutations detected; further clinical evaluation may be needed to rule out other causes.
If you have symptoms of recurrent infections, a family history of immune disorders, or receive positive test results, consult a genetic specialist or immunologist.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all possible mutations
- ⚠Requires genetic counseling for interpretation
- ⚠Not solely diagnostic; clinical correlation needed
