Understanding Your Results
Pathogenic variant detected
Confirms diagnosis of Robinow syndrome, autosomal dominant type 1. Genetic counseling and multidisciplinary management recommended.
No pathogenic variant detected
Robinow syndrome due to WNT5A mutations unlikely. Consider other genetic tests or clinical evaluation.
Variant of uncertain significance (VUS)
Further analysis and family studies may be needed. Consult a geneticist for guidance.
Consult a healthcare provider if you or your child exhibits symptoms such as short stature, facial abnormalities, or skeletal issues, or if there is a family history of Robinow syndrome. Genetic counseling is advised before and after testing.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all types of mutations, such as large deletions or duplications
- ⚠Results require interpretation by a genetic counselor or specialist
- ⚠Does not rule out other genetic conditions with overlapping symptoms
- ⚠Limited to known pathogenic variants in the WNT5A gene
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minor pain or bruising at the blood draw site
- ●Very low risk of infection
- ●Emotional impact of genetic results; counseling provided
Interfering Factors
- ●Poor sample quality or insufficient DNA
- ●Contamination during sample collection or processing
- ●Hemolyzed or lipemic blood samples
- ●Recent blood transfusions may affect DNA analysis
