Understanding Your Results

Results from NRAS Mutation Analysis indicate whether mutations are detected in codons 12 or 13 of the NRAS gene. A positive result suggests the presence of a mutation, which may influence cancer diagnosis and treatment. A negative result means no mutation was detected in these specific codons.
📊

Mutation Detected

Indicates a genetic alteration in NRAS codons 12 or 13, which may be associated with cancer development and could affect treatment response.

Action: Consult with an oncologist or genetic counselor for further evaluation and personalized treatment planning.

📊

No Mutation Detected

No mutations were found in the tested codons, but this does not rule out other genetic factors or cancer types.

Action: Discuss results with a healthcare provider to determine if additional testing is needed based on clinical context.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you have a family history of cancer, experience symptoms like unexplained weight loss or persistent pain, or if the test results indicate a mutation. Genetic counseling is recommended for interpreting results and assessing familial risks.
