Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the PUS1 gene. Positive results may confirm diagnosis, while negative results do not entirely rule out other genetic causes.
📊

Negative

No pathogenic variants detected in the PUS1 gene. Clinical correlation advised.

📊

Positive

Pathogenic variant(s) identified, supporting diagnosis of mitochondrial myopathy and sideroblastic anemia type 1.

📊

Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)

Genetic variant found but clinical significance unknown. Further testing or family studies may be needed.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:
