Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the SKI gene. Positive results confirm Shprintzen-Goldberg Syndrome, while negative results may require further clinical evaluation.
Positive: Pathogenic mutation detected, consistent with Shprintzen-Goldberg Syndrome. Clinical management and genetic counseling advised.
Negative: No pathogenic variant detected. Consider other diagnoses or repeat testing if clinical suspicion remains.
Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS): Further research and family studies may be needed for interpretation.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if symptoms of Shprintzen-Goldberg Syndrome are present, for family planning if there is a family history, or after receiving test results for management guidance.

Limitations

  • May not detect all types of genetic variations
  • Requires clinical correlation for diagnosis
  • Genetic counseling is essential for interpretation

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
  • Psychological impact of genetic results

Interfering Factors
