Understanding Your Results

The results of this NGS genetic test are interpreted by a clinical geneticist. The presence of a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant in the MAMLD1 gene confirms the genetic diagnosis of X-linked hypospadias type 2. A negative result does not rule out the condition, as other genes may be involved.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms the genetic cause of hypospadias. Genetic counseling is recommended for the family.

📊

Likely pathogenic variant detected

Highly suggestive of the condition; further family studies may be needed.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)

Cannot be definitively classified; additional testing or family segregation analysis may be required.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

No mutation found in MAMLD1 gene; other genetic or non-genetic causes should be considered.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If your child has been diagnosed with hypospadias or you have a family history of the condition, consult a pediatrician or genetic counselor to discuss genetic testing and management options.

Limitations

  • This test detects mutations only in the MAMLD1 gene; other genes may also cause hypospadias.
  • Variant of uncertain significance (VUS) may require further family studies.
  • Large deletions/duplications may not be detected by standard NGS; additional testing may be needed.
  • Genetic testing does not predict the severity of hypospadias.

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk of bleeding or bruising at the puncture site
  • Rare risk of infection
  • Psychological impact of genetic results

Interfering Factors

  • Contaminated or degraded DNA sample
  • Recent blood transfusion (within 2 weeks)
  • Bone marrow transplantation
  • Maternal cell contamination in prenatal samples
