Understanding Your Results
Positive for pathogenic variant
Confirms diagnosis of MED13L-related transposition of the great arteries. Genetic counseling and management recommended.
Negative for pathogenic variant
No mutations detected in the MED13L gene. Clinical correlation and additional testing may be considered.
Variant of uncertain significance
Further analysis and family studies may be needed for clarification.
If symptoms such as cyanosis, abnormal heart rhythms, or difficulty breathing persist, or if there is a family history of congenital heart disease, consult a cardiologist or geneticist immediately.
