Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the KIF23 gene. Positive results confirm diagnosis of CDA type 3, while negative results may require further clinical evaluation.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms diagnosis of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type 3. Genetic counseling recommended.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

CDA type 3 unlikely, but clinical correlation needed. Consider other genetic or non-genetic causes.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a hematologist or geneticist if symptoms persist, worsen, or if there is a family history of anemia for further evaluation and management.

Limitations

  • Test may not detect all possible mutations in the KIF23 gene
  • Requires genetic counseling for interpretation
  • Not suitable for prenatal diagnosis without additional validation

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw: bruising, soreness, or rare infection at puncture site

Interfering Factors

  • Hemolyzed blood sample
  • Contaminated DNA sample
  • Improper sample storage
