Understanding Your Results

Results from the Polycystic Kidney Disease Gene Panel indicate the presence or absence of genetic mutations associated with PKD, aiding in diagnosis and risk assessment.
Mutation detected in PKD1, PKD2, or PKHD1: Confirms diagnosis of PKD and guides management
No mutation detected: Reduces likelihood of PKD but does not eliminate risk entirely
Variant of uncertain significance: May require further testing or family studies
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a healthcare provider if you experience symptoms of PKD, have a family history, or receive positive test results for appropriate management and genetic counseling.
