Understanding Your Results

Results indicate genetic susceptibility to psoriasis type 11 based on IL12B gene analysis.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variant

Increased risk of developing psoriasis; consult dermatologist for monitoring and management.

📊

Negative for pathogenic variant

Lower genetic risk, but not zero; maintain healthy lifestyle and monitor symptoms.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms of psoriasis appear, if family history is positive, or for interpretation of genetic test results.

Limitations
