Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the MNX1 gene. A positive result confirms a genetic predisposition to Currarino Syndrome, while a negative result suggests no detected variants, but clinical symptoms may warrant further evaluation.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variant

Confirms diagnosis of Currarino Syndrome; genetic counseling and management recommended.

📊

Negative for pathogenic variant

No mutations detected; consider other genetic or non-genetic causes if symptoms persist.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing and family studies may be needed for clarification.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a geneticist or specialist if you experience symptoms like chronic constipation, incontinence, back pain, or have a family history of Currarino Syndrome. After testing, discuss results with a healthcare provider for appropriate management.

Limitations
