Understanding Your Results

Results from the Expert Panel 2 Test indicate the presence or absence of genetic variants associated with increased health risks. Positive results suggest a higher genetic predisposition, while negative results indicate no detectable pathogenic variants.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variants

Higher risk for hereditary cancers or disorders; consult a genetic counselor or oncologist for further evaluation and management.

📊

Negative for pathogenic variants

No detectable genetic mutations; however, routine screening and family history monitoring are still recommended.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If results indicate a genetic risk, if symptoms persist or worsen, or for guidance on preventive measures and screening schedules.

Limitations

  • ⚠Genetic tests may not detect all mutations or predict all health risks
  • ⚠Results are probabilistic and require clinical correlation

Risks & Considerations

  • ●No physical risks from sample collection, but emotional or psychological impact may occur upon receiving results

Interfering Factors

  • ●Quality and adequacy of submitted samples
  • ●Accuracy of previous reports and clinical history
