Understanding Your Results
No pathogenic variants detected
Normal; low genetic risk for Protein C Deficiency, but clinical symptoms may require further evaluation.
Pathogenic variants identified
Abnormal; confirms genetic diagnosis of Protein C Deficiency. Consult a geneticist for management and family screening.
Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms like unexplained blood clots, recurrent miscarriages, or have a family history of clotting disorders. Also, seek advice after receiving test results for personalized management.
