Test Parameters & Specifications
Understanding Your Results
No mutation detected
Normal finding; no mutations in screened exons. Clinical correlation recommended.
Mutation detected
Presence of mutation in one or more exons; may indicate GISTs or CEL and suitability for targeted therapy like imatinib.
Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, difficulty swallowing, fatigue, unexplained weight loss, shortness of breath, fever, night sweats, or itchy skin, or if you have a family history of GISTs or CEL.
Limitations
- ⚠This test only screens for mutations in exons 12, 14, and 18 of the PDGFR gene; other mutations may not be detected.
- ⚠Results should be interpreted in conjunction with clinical findings and other diagnostic tests.
