Understanding Your Results

Results indicate the presence or absence of pathogenic mutations in the WDR11 gene, which are associated with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism type 14.
📊

Pathogenic variant detected

Consistent with a diagnosis of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism type 14. Clinical correlation and genetic counselling are recommended.

📊

No pathogenic variant detected

Unlikely to have hypogonadotropic hypogonadism type 14 due to WDR11 mutations. Consider other genetic or non-genetic causes.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If symptoms of hypogonadotropic hypogonadism persist, if the genetic test result is positive, or for family planning and management options, consult an endocrinologist or geneticist.

Limitations

  • ⚠May not detect all genetic variants or mutations
  • ⚠Requires integration with clinical evaluation and genetic counselling
  • ⚠Results may have implications for family members

Risks & Considerations

  • ●Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
  • ●Potential psychological impact of genetic results
  • ●Risk of incidental findings unrelated to the condition

Interfering Factors

  • ●Degraded or insufficient DNA sample
  • ●Contamination during sample collection
  • ●Technical errors in NGS sequencing
