Understanding Your Results
Positive for mutation
Increased risk for pancreatic cancer or hereditary pancreatitis. Consult a genetic counselor for further guidance.
Negative for mutation
No known mutations detected in the tested genes. However, risk may still exist due to other factors.
Variant of uncertain significance
A genetic change was found, but its clinical significance is unclear. Follow-up testing may be recommended.
Consult a doctor if you have a family history of pancreatic cancer, experience symptoms like persistent abdominal pain or jaundice, or if test results indicate a positive mutation for personalized management plans.
