Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic variant detected
Confirms diagnosis of MEGF10 Gene Myopathy. Genetic counseling recommended for management and family planning.
No pathogenic variant detected
Makes diagnosis less likely, but further clinical evaluation may be needed if symptoms persist.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)
Requires additional family studies or functional analysis for clarification. Consult a genetic specialist.
Consult a genetic counselor or neurologist immediately if symptoms are present, after receiving test results, or for family planning if a pathogenic variant is found.
Limitations
- ⚠This test may not detect all mutations in the MEGF10 gene due to technical limitations
- ⚠Variants of uncertain significance (VUS) may be identified, requiring further evaluation
