Understanding Your Results
Detected (Pathogenic Variant)
Confirms diagnosis of EIEE28. Genetic counseling and targeted management recommended.
Not Detected
No pathogenic variants found in WWOX gene. Consider other genetic or non-genetic causes if clinical suspicion remains.
Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)
Genetic variant identified but clinical significance unknown. Further testing or family studies may be required.
Consult a genetic counselor or neurologist if your child shows symptoms of seizures, developmental delays, or if a positive result is obtained, for tailored management and family planning.
Limitations
- ⚠May not detect all types of genetic variants, such as deep intronic mutations
- ⚠Variant of uncertain significance (VUS) may be reported, requiring further evaluation
- ⚠Test does not rule out other genetic or non-genetic causes of epilepsy
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risks from blood draw, such as bruising or discomfort at the puncture site
- ●Psychological impact of genetic test results, addressed through counseling
Interfering Factors
- ●Poor sample quality or insufficient DNA
- ●Contamination during sample collection or processing
- ●Hemolyzed or lipemic blood samples
