Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic variant detected
Confirms diagnosis of PRAAS; tailored treatment and genetic counseling recommended.
Likely pathogenic variant detected
Strong evidence for PRAAS; clinical correlation and further testing may be advised.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)
Insufficient evidence; monitor symptoms and consider family studies.
No pathogenic variants detected
PRAAS unlikely due to PSMB8 mutations; consider other diagnoses.
Consult a doctor if symptoms such as recurrent fever, skin rashes, joint pain, or abnormal fat distribution persist, or for genetic counseling regarding family planning and inheritance risks.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all genetic variants, including large deletions or duplications
- ⚠Results require interpretation by a genetic specialist
- ⚠Does not replace clinical evaluation and other diagnostic tests
- ⚠Genetic counseling is recommended for understanding implications
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk from blood draw (e.g., bruising, infection)
- ●Psychological impact of genetic results
- ●Potential for uncertain results requiring further testing
Interfering Factors
- ●Poor sample quality (e.g., hemolyzed blood)
- ●Contamination during sample collection or processing
- ●Insufficient DNA quantity
- ●Technical errors in sequencing
