Hereditary Breast and Gynecological Cancer Panel
Use
This test is intended for individuals with a clinical or suspected diagnosis of hereditary breast, ovarian, pancreatic, and prostate cancer syndrome or Lynch syndrome. It is particularly relevant for those with early-onset cancer diagnosed before age 50, individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry with a personal or family history of breast/ovarian cancer, and individuals with multiple first-, second-, and third-degree family members with related cancer diagnoses.
Special Instructions
STAT testing is available for this panel, which reduces the turnaround time to 7 - 16 days in certain cases. Pricing details, including a STAT surcharge, can be found in related documentation. Ensure proper specimen collection and submission according to provided guidelines to avoid testing delays.
Limitations
While the panel targets 19 specific genes related to hereditary breast and gynecological cancers, there may be limitations in detecting certain types of mutations or variants not covered by the NGS and CNV methodologies employed. Sensitivity of certain regions may be affected by the technical constraints of the sequencing platform.
