Understanding Your Results
Positive for PAX2 mutation
Confirms diagnosis of FSGS Type 7. Recommend nephrology consultation, genetic counseling, and family screening.
Negative for PAX2 mutation
No pathogenic mutation detected. Consider other causes of symptoms and further clinical evaluation.
Variant of uncertain significance
Genetic variant found but clinical significance unknown. Requires follow-up testing and expert review.
Consult a nephrologist or geneticist if symptoms persist, results are positive, or for family planning advice based on genetic findings.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all genetic variants or mutations
- ⚠Requires genetic counseling for interpretation
- ⚠Results should be correlated with clinical findings
- ⚠Limited to PAX2 gene analysis only
