Understanding Your Results
Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms of atypical mycobacterial infections (e.g., persistent cough, fever, weight loss), have a family history of genetic immunodeficiency, or receive a positive genetic test result for personalized treatment planning.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all possible IL12RB1 mutations
- ⚠Results require genetic counseling for accurate interpretation
- ⚠Dependent on quality of DNA sample; hemolyzed samples may be rejected
- ⚠Cannot rule out other genetic or environmental causes of infection
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk from blood draw, such as slight pain or bruising at the collection site
- ●Rare risk of infection or excessive bleeding
- ●No significant physical risks; genetic counseling recommended for psychological support
Interfering Factors
- ●Poor sample quality or insufficient DNA
- ●Contamination during sample collection or processing
- ●Technical errors in sequencing or analysis
