Low genetic risk for INS-related Type 1 Diabetes, but clinical symptoms should be evaluated.
Pathogenic variant detected
Increased genetic risk for Diabetes Mellitus Type 1; recommend genetic counseling and monitoring.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)
Further testing or family studies may be needed for clarification.
Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms of diabetes, have a family history of Type 1 Diabetes, or receive abnormal test results for further evaluation and management.
