When the aCGH comes back with a pathological variant, that then explains the diagnosis, I can see how this may alter treatment choices, make a difference to understanding prognosis (but maybe not – as we’re not sure that the ‘forme fruste’ versions always work the same as the face-slappingly-obvious ones, are we?) and give information for reproductive choices.<\/p>\n

And if we find a ‘nothing’, then we’re also a further step into acknowledged uncertainty. But …<\/p>\n

But .. what about the ‘variant of unknown significance’ .. how do they get handled by clinician<\/a>, parent and young person? What is the value in this answer and how can it be balanced at the point of requesting the test against the possibilities of the other answers? This is operational in BRCA testing<\/a> and has some mirrors in the area of ‘incidental findings’\u00a0. I could find\u00a0a tiny bit of research in the area<\/a>, and would love to be pointed at more, as it feels like this should be understood better<\/p>\n

When we describe the value of a test or intervention – whose values are we applying?<\/p>\n
