Invitae Multi-Cancer Panel
Use
The Invitae Multi-Cancer Panel analyzes genes associated with adult-onset, non-syndromic cancer predisposition across major organ systems such as breast, gynecologic, gastrointestinal, endocrine, genitourinary, skin, and brain/nervous system. This test helps confirm clinical diagnoses, predict disease progression, facilitate early detection, inform family planning, and promote clinical trial enrollment for hereditary cancer predisposition.
Special Instructions
The test is designed specifically for heritable germline mutations and is not appropriate for somatic mutations in tumor tissue. Contact client services with any questions regarding specific limitations or needs.
Limitations
This test may not detect structural rearrangements or variants in sequence with complex architecture. It may not fully resolve mosaicism, phasing, or mapping ambiguity. Sequence changes in promoter, non-coding exons, and other non-coding regions are typically not covered.
