Understanding Your Results

Results from the SCNN1G Gene Liddle Syndrome NGS Genetic Test indicate the presence or absence of mutations in the SCNN1G gene. A positive result confirms Liddle syndrome, guiding treatment and family screening.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms diagnosis of Liddle syndrome. Recommend genetic counseling and targeted therapy.

📊

Likely pathogenic variant detected

High suspicion of Liddle syndrome. Further clinical correlation and family testing advised.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)

Inconclusive. Repeat testing or additional family studies may be needed.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

Liddle syndrome unlikely. Consider other causes of hypertension.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you have persistent high blood pressure, low potassium levels, or a family history of Liddle syndrome. After testing, discuss results with a genetic counselor or nephrologist for management.
