Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the MT-TY gene. Positive results suggest a genetic predisposition to FSGS and DCM, while negative results may not rule out other causes.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variant

Confirms genetic basis for FSGS or DCM; recommend clinical management and family screening.

📊

Negative for pathogenic variant

No MT-TY gene mutations detected; consider other diagnostic tests if symptoms persist.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing and clinical correlation needed; genetic counseling advised.
