Understanding Your Results

Results indicate presence or absence of mutations in the NSMF gene associated with Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism.
Positive: Pathogenic variant detected, confirming genetic cause of HH
Negative: No pathogenic variants found, but clinical correlation needed
Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS): Further testing or family studies recommended
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a geneticist or endocrinologist if symptoms of HH are present, or for family planning if a mutation is detected.

Limitations

  • ⚠Test may not detect all genetic variants due to technical limitations
  • ⚠Results require interpretation by a genetic specialist
  • ⚠Does not rule out other genetic or non-genetic causes of HH

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risk from blood draw (bruising, infection)
  • ●Psychological impact of genetic results
