Understanding Your Results
Positive for pathogenic variant
Indicates a mutation in the KLF1 gene that may cause Lutheran inhibitor blood group disorder. Consult a genetic counselor for further management.
Negative
No pathogenic variants detected. However, clinical correlation is recommended if symptoms persist.
Variant of uncertain significance
A genetic variant was found, but its clinical significance is unknown. Further testing or family studies may be needed.
If you experience symptoms such as persistent anemia, jaundice, or fatigue, or if the test results indicate a positive finding, consult a hematologist or genetic specialist.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all possible mutations
- ⚠Requires interpretation by a genetic counselor
- ⚠Results may have variants of uncertain significance
Risks & Considerations
