- Insufficient sample volume
- Improperly labeled or contaminated samples
Understanding Your Results
Normal
No pathogenic variants detected in the IL2 gene. SCID due to IL2 deficiency is unlikely.
Pathogenic Variant Detected
A disease-causing mutation identified, confirming diagnosis of SCID due to IL2 deficiency. Immediate medical intervention is recommended.
Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)
A genetic change with unknown clinical significance. Further testing and family studies may be needed.
Carrier Status
One pathogenic variant detected, indicating carrier status. Genetic counseling for family planning is advised.
If the test results are positive or show variants of uncertain significance, or if the patient exhibits symptoms of immune deficiency, consult a clinical geneticist or immunologist immediately.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all types of genetic variations, such as large deletions or intronic mutations
- ⚠Requires genetic counseling for proper interpretation of results
- ⚠Results are for diagnostic purposes and should be correlated with clinical findings
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risks from blood draw, such as bruising, infection, or discomfort
- ●Psychological impact of genetic results, mitigated by counseling
Interfering Factors
- ●Poor sample quality or DNA degradation
- ●Contamination during sample collection or processing
- ●Recent blood transfusions affecting DNA analysis
