Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the SLC26A1 gene. Consult a geneticist or nephrologist for detailed interpretation.
📊

No pathogenic variants

Normal; SLC26A1 deficiency unlikely as cause of symptoms

📊

Pathogenic variants detected

Abnormal; confirms SLC26A1 gene renal dysfunction, requiring further clinical evaluation

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms such as renal tubular acidosis, nephrolithiasis, or renal failure persist, or if family history suggests hereditary kidney disorders, consult a nephrologist or geneticist.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all genetic variants
  • ⚠Requires genetic counseling for interpretation
  • ⚠Results may have implications for family members

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risk from blood draw (e.g., bruising, infection)
  • ●Psychological impact of genetic results on patient and family

Interfering Factors
