Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the IL7R gene associated with SCID.
Positive: Pathogenic variant detected, consistent with IL7R gene SCID.
Negative: No pathogenic variants detected.
Variant of uncertain significance: Further testing or clinical correlation may be required.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms of SCID are present, such as frequent severe infections, or if there is a family history of immunodeficiency disorders.

Risks & Considerations

  • Minor bruising at puncture site
  • Rare risk of infection

Frequently Asked Questions

What is IL7R gene SCID?
IL7R gene SCID is a rare genetic disorder affecting the immune system, characterized by T-cell deficiency but normal B-cell and NK cell counts.
What are the symptoms of IL7R gene SCID?
Symptoms include frequent severe infections, failure to thrive, chronic diarrhea, recurrent skin infections, slow growth, and enlarged lymph nodes, liver, or spleen.
How is IL7R gene SCID diagnosed?
Diagnosis is through genetic testing, specifically NGS Genetic Testing, which identifies mutations in the IL7R gene.
