Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the PRSS1 gene, which is associated with hereditary pancreatitis.
📊

Negative

No pathogenic mutation detected in the PRSS1 gene. Reduced risk of hereditary pancreatitis, but clinical correlation is recommended.

📊

Positive

Pathogenic mutation detected in the PRSS1 gene. High risk for hereditary pancreatitis. Consult a genetic counselor for management and family testing.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms of pancreatitis persist, there is a family history of the condition, or if genetic test results are positive.
