Results and reports
-
Results documentation includes the following:
- A summary of the pre-test genetic counselling session for the patient and the ordering physician
- A copy of the result with an explanatory letter for the patient* and the ordering physician.
Possible results include:
- Positive: A disease-causing mutation was identified. This individual has an increased risk for specific types of cancer. Family members are at increased risk of carrying the same mutation.
- True Negative: This individual tested negative for a mutation previously identified in the family. This individual’s risk for cancer is not expected to be increased above the general population risk.
- Uninformative Negative: No disease-causing mutation was identified. If an individual has a personal or family history of cancer, the exact cause of the cancers in the family remains unknown. This individual’s risk for cancer remains increased based on family history assessment. If applicable, testing affected family members could be considered.
- Variant of Unknown Significance (VUS): A VUS indicates that the pathogenicity (whether a mutation causes a predisposition to cancer) of the variant identified cannot be established. Testing other family members may help clarify the clinical significance. Over time, variants may be reclassified as pathogenic or non-pathogenic.
*Note: the ordering physician has the option to opt out of patients receiving results directly. If this is the case, the patient will be notified that their results are ready and to contact their ordering physician.
