Understanding Your Results
Positive
Pathogenic RAD51C mutation detected. Increased risk for breast and ovarian cancer. Consult a genetic counselor for risk management options.
Negative
No pathogenic RAD51C mutations detected. Risk may be lower, but family history and other factors should be considered.
Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)
A genetic variant was found, but its clinical significance is unknown. Further testing and monitoring may be recommended.
Consult a doctor or genetic counselor if you have a family history of breast or ovarian cancer, receive a positive or VUS result, or need guidance on risk management and screening.
Limitations
