Interpretation guide

Understanding results

A laboratory result is interpreted alongside personal history, family history, and other clinical information. Your healthcare professional is the right person to explain what your report means.

Pathogenic / likely pathogenicA clinically significant finding may support further evaluation with a qualified healthcare professional.
Benign / likely benignA finding classified as benign is generally not considered to explain a clinical concern on its own.
Variant of uncertain significanceA VUS is not used on its own to confirm or rule out a diagnosis; interpretation may change as evidence develops.

Before your sample

Follow the collection instructions provided by your healthcare professional or GGC DNA team. Ask before collecting if you are unsure about timing, medications, or sample handling.
