Understanding Your Results
Positive
Pathogenic variant detected in PDGFB gene, indicating increased risk for familial meningioma. Genetic counseling and further clinical evaluation recommended.
Negative
No pathogenic variants detected in PDGFB gene. Risk may not be elevated based on this gene, but clinical correlation is advised.
Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)
A genetic variant was found but its clinical significance is unknown. Repeat testing or family studies may be needed.
Consult a doctor or genetic counselor if you have a family history of meningioma, experience symptoms like headaches or seizures, or need guidance on test results and management.
