What does my genetic report mean? 

We wrote a blog, but as I’ve had this conversation a few dozen times, my answer is simpler now.  Is it missense or is it truncating?  If missense, do more research, if truncating, it is in the first 4 exons (p. Address of 129 or lower).

Who else has it?  Look on ClinVar and call SRF.
