*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.
Enter information (found on the genetic test results/report*) to be added to the CAGS/ANKRD17 map. The map is a simple yet powerful visualization to show the prevalence of CAGS/ANKRD17 worldwide.
