Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic variant detected
Confirms diagnosis of NGEF Gene Neurodevelopmental Disorder. Genetic counselling and further clinical evaluation recommended.
Likely pathogenic variant detected
Strong evidence for disease association. Consider clinical correlation and family testing.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)
Insufficient evidence to classify variant. Monitor for new data and consider additional testing or clinical follow-up.
No pathogenic variants detected
Negative for known NGEF mutations. Other genetic or non-genetic causes may be considered if symptoms persist.
Consult a geneticist or neurologist if test results are positive, if symptoms worsen, or for guidance on management and family planning.
Limitations
- ⚠This test may not detect all types of genetic variants, such as large deletions or duplications not covered by NGS.
- ⚠Results may include variants of uncertain significance (VUS) requiring further evaluation.
- ⚠Genetic testing does not predict disease severity or progression in all cases.
- ⚠Ethical and psychological implications of genetic testing should be considered.
Risks & Considerations
- ●Psychological impact of learning genetic diagnosis
- ●Potential for uncertain results requiring further testing
- ●Ethical considerations regarding genetic data privacy
Interfering Factors
- ●Poor sample quality such as hemolyzed blood
- ●Insufficient DNA quantity or quality
- ●Sample contamination during collection or transport
- ●Recent blood transfusions may affect DNA analysis
