Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic variants in the SMARCAD1 gene. Positive results confirm adermatoglyphia, while negative results may require further clinical evaluation.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Confirms diagnosis of adermatoglyphia; genetic counseling recommended.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

Adermatoglyphia unlikely due to SMARCAD1 mutations; consider other genetic or environmental factors.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing or family studies may be needed for clarification.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms of adermatoglyphia are present, or for family planning and genetic counseling after a positive test result.
