Invitae Hereditary Pancreatic Cancer Panel
Use
The Invitae Hereditary Pancreatic Cancer Panel analyzes genes associated with adult-onset pancreatic cancer predisposition. It aids in confirming clinical diagnosis, predicting disease prognosis, facilitating early symptoms detection, informing family planning, genetic counseling, and clinical trial enrollment. Given the overlap of pancreatic cancer susceptibility conditions, the broad panel approach provides efficient evaluation of various potential genes under one clinical indication. Some targeted genes may relate to other disorders not included in this test.

Certain structural rearrangements, single-exon copy number events, or complex sequence variants may not be detected. Analytical coverage excludes promoter regions, non-coding exons/terms unless explicitly stated.
