Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic variant detected
Confirms diagnosis of DBA type 3; genetic counseling recommended
No pathogenic variant detected
DBA type 3 unlikely, but clinical correlation needed; consider other genetic tests
Variant of uncertain significance
Further testing or family studies may be required
Consult a hematologist or genetic specialist if symptoms of anemia persist, family history of DBA is present, or for guidance on test results and treatment options.
Limitations
