Understanding Your Results
Positive
Pathogenic variant detected in NEXN gene, confirming diagnosis. Recommend clinical management and family screening.
Negative
No pathogenic variants detected. Consider other genetic or clinical evaluations if symptoms persist.
Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)
Genetic variant found but clinical significance unknown. Require further studies and genetic counseling.
Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pain, or swelling, or if you have a family history of cardiomyopathy. After testing, discuss results with a geneticist or cardiologist for appropriate management.
