Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic variant detected in WDPCP gene, consistent with Bardet-Biedl Syndrome Type 15. Genetic counseling and further management recommended.
Result type: Positive
No pathogenic variants detected. Does not rule out other genetic causes; clinical evaluation advised.
Result type: Negative
Genetic variant found but significance unclear. Requires family studies and clinical correlation.
Result type: Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)
Consult a doctor if you experience symptoms such as obesity, vision problems, kidney issues, or developmental delays, especially with a family history of Bardet-Biedl Syndrome. After testing, discuss results with a geneticist for personalized advice.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all genetic variants, including deep intronic mutations
- ⚠Requires genetic counseling for interpretation
- ⚠Results should be correlated with clinical findings
- ⚠Not a substitute for comprehensive clinical evaluation
