Understanding Your Results
Mutation Detected
Confirms diagnosis of PKD2-related autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Genetic counseling is recommended for the patient and family members.
Mutation Not Detected
Does not rule out other causes of polycystic kidney disease or genetic conditions. Clinical correlation and further testing may be needed.
If you have a family history of polycystic kidney disease, experience symptoms like persistent back pain, high blood pressure, or kidney issues, or if genetic testing results are positive, consult a nephrologist or geneticist for management and counseling.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all types of mutations in the PKD2 gene
- ⚠Does not predict disease severity or age of onset
