Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the MYD88 gene, which can confirm MYD88 deficiency.
📊

Positive (Mutation Detected)

Consistent with MYD88 deficiency. Clinical correlation and genetic counseling recommended.

📊

Negative (No Mutation Detected)

MYD88 deficiency unlikely. Consider other causes of recurrent infections.

📊

Variant of Uncertain Significance

Further testing and family studies may be needed.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If you have recurrent bacterial infections, a family history of immune deficiencies, or if the test results are positive or uncertain.

Limitations

  • May not detect all possible mutations
  • Requires genetic counseling for interpretation
  • Results should be correlated with clinical history

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw (e.g., bruising, infection)
  • Emotional impact of genetic results
  • Potential for uncertain findings requiring further testing

Interfering Factors
