VistaSeq® Breast Cancer Panel
Also known as: Familial Cancer testing, Hereditary Cancer testing, Inherited Cancer testing
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 using PeopleSoft No. 87917, contact your local Labcorp branch supply department.
Limitations
Sequencing cannot detect variants in regions not covered by this analysis, including noncoding or deep intronic variants, and may not reliably detect changes in repetitive elements. Sequencing may not detect mosaic variants, inversions, or other genomic rearrangements such as transposable element insertions. The method does not allow conclusions about whether two heterozygous variants are on the same or different chromosome copies.
