*When you have a genetic mutation (variant), the report usually includes key pieces of information:
  • Variant (the change in the gene)

  • Inheritance (whether it was inherited or new)

Here’s how to find each:

How do you find your variant? If you used GeneDx, Invitae, Ambry, or another lab, look under:
  • “Genetic Findings”

  • “Variant Details”

  • “Download PDF Report”

  • The PDF always has the exact variant listed.

You can copy the variant link, it may look something like: ANKRD17: NM_032217.3 c.3562C>T (p.Arg1188*)

That whole string is the variant.

What is Inheritance?

Inheritance describes where the mutation came from. Typical options: De novo means new in the child or not present in either parent. Inherited means passed down from a parent. Unknown happens if parents were not tested.
