Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the IL11RA gene associated with craniosynostosis and dental anomalies.
Negative: No pathogenic variants detected, reducing the likelihood of a genetic cause for craniosynostosis.
Positive: Pathogenic variant detected, confirming a genetic etiology and guiding further management.
Variant of uncertain significance: Further testing, family studies, or clinical correlation may be needed for interpretation.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If test results are positive, or if symptoms persist or worsen, consult a geneticist or pediatrician for further evaluation and management.

Limitations
