Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic variant detected
Confirms diagnosis of SCP2 gene-related leukoencephalopathy with dystonia and motor neuropathy. Genetic counseling recommended for family planning and management.
No pathogenic variant detected
Does not rule out the disorder entirely, as other genes or variants may be involved. Clinical correlation and further testing may be needed.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)
A variant was found, but its clinical significance is unclear. Monitoring and additional family studies are advised.
Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms like dystonia, motor neuropathy, speech difficulties, vision problems, or cognitive issues, especially with a family history of similar disorders. Consultation is also advised after receiving test results for personalized management.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all genetic variants, such as deep intronic mutations
- ⚠Results require interpretation by a genetic counselor or specialist
- ⚠Does not rule out other genetic or non-genetic causes of symptoms
- ⚠Test accuracy depends on sample quality and laboratory protocols
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
- ●Potential emotional distress from test results
- ●No significant physical risks associated with the test itself
Interfering Factors
