Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the ITGA3 gene. Positive results may confirm diagnosis, while negative results may require further testing.
Pathogenic variants: Associated with disease, consult geneticist
Likely pathogenic variants: Probable association, clinical correlation needed
Benign variants: Not associated with disease
Variants of uncertain significance: Further research required
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a healthcare professional if symptoms of interstitial lung disease, nephrotic syndrome, or epidermolysis bullosa are present, or if family history suggests genetic risk.

Limitations
