Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the PSAP gene. Positive results confirm genetic predisposition to Gaucher disease, while negative results suggest no detectable mutations.
Positive: Pathogenic variant detected – confirms diagnosis, recommend genetic counseling and clinical management.
Negative: No pathogenic variant detected – reduces likelihood of PSAP-related Gaucher disease, consider other genetic or clinical causes.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS) – further testing and family studies may be needed.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a geneticist or healthcare provider if results are positive or if symptoms persist despite negative results, for comprehensive evaluation and management.

Limitations

  • May not detect all possible mutations or variants of uncertain significance
  • Requires genetic counseling for interpretation
  • Results should be correlated with clinical findings

Risks & Considerations

  • Minor bruising or pain at puncture site
  • Rare risk of infection
  • No significant long-term risks

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Degraded DNA quality
  • Recent blood transfusion
  • Improper sample storage
