Analyzes 84 genes associated with hereditary cancer syndromes to identify inherited genetic variants that may increase the lifetime risk of developing certain cancers. Unlike most cancers, which develop sporadically, hereditary cancers are caused by inherited genetic variants that can be passed from one generation to the next.
The panel analyzes genes associated with hereditary breast, ovarian, colorectal, prostate, pancreatic, gastric, melanoma, endocrine, and other inherited cancer syndromes. When interpreted alongside your personal and family history, the results may help guide personalised screening, prevention strategies, and medical follow-up. Results may also provide valuable information for biological relatives who could share the same inherited genetic variant.
The report may provide insights into
- Inherited genetic variants associated with hereditary cancer syndromes
- Inherited risk of developing selected hereditary cancers
- Genes that may warrant earlier or more frequent cancer screening
- Genetic information that may be relevant for biological relatives
- Findings that can support discussions with a genetic counsellor or physician about risk management and prevention strategies
Typical uses
- Assess inherited cancer risk based on personal or family history
- Support personalised cancer screening and surveillance plans
- Guide discussions about preventive measures and long-term risk management
- Identify whether close biological relatives may benefit from genetic counselling or testing
- Provide a lifelong genetic reference for future healthcare decisions
