Understanding Your Results

Results indicate whether pathogenic mutations in the WDR27 gene are detected. A positive result confirms WDR27-related brain disorder, while a negative result may require further testing.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variant

Confirms diagnosis of WDR27-related brain disorder. Genetic counseling recommended.

📊

Negative for pathogenic variant

No mutations detected in the WDR27 gene. Consider other genetic or non-genetic causes.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Further testing or family studies may be needed for clarification.
