Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the IMPAD1 gene. A positive result confirms the diagnosis, while a negative result may require further testing if clinical suspicion remains high.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms diagnosis of Chondrodysplasia with joint dislocations, GPAPP type. Genetic counseling recommended.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

Does not rule out the disorder; consider other genetic or clinical evaluations.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)

Further research or family studies may be needed for clarification.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a healthcare provider if symptoms such as joint dislocations, short stature, or skeletal abnormalities are present, or if there is a family history of similar conditions.

Limitations

  • May not detect all genetic variants, including deep intronic mutations
  • Requires genetic counseling for accurate interpretation
  • Results should be correlated with clinical findings

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risks from blood draw, such as slight pain or bruising
  • Psychological impact of genetic results; counseling provided

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination during collection or transport
  • Degraded DNA due to improper storage
