Understanding Your Results

Results from the ZAP70 Gene NGS Genetic Test are interpreted based on the presence of pathogenic variants. Positive results indicate a genetic defect in ZAP70, confirming selective T-cell defect, while negative results suggest no known mutations, but clinical correlation is advised.
📊

Positive for pathogenic variant

Confirms ZAP70 gene defect; indicates selective T-cell defect; recommend immunology consultation and treatment planning.

📊

Negative for pathogenic variant

No known mutations detected; symptoms may be due to other causes; consider further testing.

📊

Variant of uncertain significance

Genetic variant identified but clinical significance unknown; recommend follow-up testing and genetic counseling.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you experience recurrent infections, chronic diarrhea, growth failure, or autoimmune symptoms, especially with a family history of immune disorders. After testing, consult for result interpretation and management.

Limitations

  • May not detect all genetic variants or structural changes
  • Requires genetic counseling for interpretation
  • Results may have variants of uncertain significance
  • Not a substitute for clinical evaluation

Risks & Considerations

  • Minimal risk from blood draw, such as bruising or infection
  • Psychological impact of genetic results; counseling recommended

Interfering Factors

  • Sample contamination
  • Degraded DNA
  • Hemolyzed blood samples
  • Incorrect sample storage
