Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Hemolyzed or clotted blood samples
- Insufficient sample volume
- Improperly labeled or contaminated samples
Understanding Your Results
Positive for pathogenic variant
Increased risk for Vesicoureteral Reflux Type 2. Recommend clinical evaluation, monitoring, and genetic counseling for family members.
Negative for pathogenic variant
No detected mutations in ROBO2 gene. Clinical symptoms may be due to other factors; further diagnostic tests may be needed.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)
Genetic variant found but clinical significance unknown. Requires periodic re-evaluation and correlation with clinical data.
If you have a family history of VUR, experience symptoms like recurrent UTIs or blood in urine, or receive a positive genetic test result, consult a nephrologist or genetic specialist promptly.
Limitations
- ⚠Does not detect all genetic causes of Vesicoureteral Reflux
- ⚠Results require clinical correlation and genetic counseling
- ⚠May not predict disease severity or onset accurately
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk from blood draw: bruising, soreness, or rare infection
- ●Psychological impact of genetic results; counseling provided
Interfering Factors
- ●Contaminated or degraded sample
- ●Improper sample storage or handling
- ●Recent blood transfusion (for blood samples)
