Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the NEXMIF gene. A positive result confirms diagnosis, while negative may require further testing.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variant

Confirms diagnosis of NEXMIF-related mental retardation. Genetic counseling recommended.

📊

Negative for pathogenic variant

No variants detected; clinical correlation and additional tests may be needed.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further family studies and clinical evaluation required.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms of intellectual disability, developmental delays, or seizures are present, consult a neurologist or geneticist for evaluation.
