Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the SYNJ1 gene. Positive results may confirm a genetic basis for Parkinson's disease, while negative results suggest no known mutations in this gene.
📊

Positive for pathogenic mutation

Indicates genetic predisposition to PARK20 Parkinson's disease. Genetic counseling recommended.

📊

Negative for pathogenic mutation

No SYNJ1 mutations detected. Does not rule out other genetic or environmental causes.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing or family studies may be needed for clarification.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a neurologist or genetic counselor if you have a family history of Parkinson's, early onset symptoms, or after receiving test results for personalized management.
