Understanding Your Results

The test results provide information on the presence or absence of genetic mutations in the ophthalmology panel. Positive results indicate pathogenic variants linked to eye disorders, while negative results suggest no detected variants, though clinical correlation is advised.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variant

Likely diagnosis of a genetic eye disorder. Consult a geneticist or ophthalmologist for management.

📊

Negative for pathogenic variants

No variants detected in the panel, but symptoms may be due to other causes. Clinical evaluation recommended.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)

Further testing and family studies may be needed. Genetic counseling advised.

📊

Multiple variants detected

Complex genetic findings requiring specialist review and possible additional testing.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if symptoms such as vision loss, eye pain, or family history of genetic eye disorders persist. Also, seek consultation after receiving test results for personalized management.

Limitations

  • ⚠Test may not detect all genetic variants, including deep intronic mutations
  • ⚠Results require clinical correlation and interpretation by a genetic specialist
  • ⚠Cannot predict disease severity or progression in all cases

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minor bruising or pain at puncture site
  • ●Rare risk of infection or bleeding
  • ●Emotional impact of genetic findings

Interfering Factors

  • ●Sample degradation or contamination
  • ●Improper sample collection or storage
  • ●Technical errors in NGS sequencing
