P347: Predicting the significance of variants in Parkinson's disease

OverinterpretationPatient 21 had hyperthyroidism and received a positive result showing a variant in TSHR.The variant had been demonstrated to be loss-of-function and led to hypothyroidism, not consistent with her presentations.Therefore, this variant was unlikely to be responsible for her hyperthyroidism. Conclusion:The nine categories of pitfalls raise warnings in the interpretation of genetic testing reports and offer insights for further investigation of genetic data in unsolved cases.

Abstract

OverinterpretationPatient 21 had hyperthyroidism and received a positive result showing a variant in TSHR.The variant had been demonstrated to be loss-of-function and led to hypothyroidism, not consistent with her presentations.Therefore, this variant was unlikely to be responsible for her hyperthyroidism. Conclusion:The nine categories of pitfalls raise warnings in the interpretation of genetic testing reports and offer insights for further investigation of genetic data in unsolved cases.
