Use

This assay is intended for patients with a family history consistent with an inherited cancer syndrome.

Special Instructions

A hereditary cancer clinical questionnaire should be submitted with all specimens. Contact CMBP genetic services at 800-345-4363 to coordinate testing. To order Oragene Dx 500 saliva collection kits, contact your local Labcorp branch supply department.

Limitations

This test cannot detect variants in regions not covered, such as noncoding or deep intronic variants. It may not reliably identify changes in repetitive elements like microsatellite repeats and may not detect mosaic variants, inversions, or genomic rearrangements like transposable elements. Presence of rare variants under primer sites or homopolymeric regions can affect sequence analysis. It does not determine if heterozygous variants are on the same or different chromosome copies. Presence of pseudogenes, such as PMS2CL, can interfere with gene variant detection. Copy number analyses may not detect certain genomic rearrangements or exact breakpoints.
