Which element provides recommendations for next steps after the results?

• A. Indication
• B. Recommended follow-up
• C. Variant interpretation
• D. Methods

Answer: (B)

The main idea is to identify which section of a genetic testing report gives practical steps to take after seeing the results. The recommended follow-up section is written to translate the findings into action, detailing what clinicians should do next—such as additional testing, referrals to genetics specialists, surveillance or management plans, and cascade testing for family members. It guides patient management directly.

Other sections serve different purposes: Indication explains why the test was ordered; variant interpretation describes what the detected findings mean clinically; methods describe how the test was performed. So the recommended follow-up is the part that turns results into concrete next steps.
