Clinical Information: |
Description: Full gene sequence analysis including the entire coding region and flanking intronic DNA (+/- 10 bp) is performed on the following 23 genes: APC, ATM, BARD1, BMPR1A (only sequencing), BRCA1, BRCA2, BRIP1, CDH1, CHEK2, EPCAM (only deletion analysis), MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, MUTYH, PALB2, POLD1, POLE, PTEN, RAD51C, RAD51D, SMAD4, STK11, TP53
Test Indications: Ordering clinician should check clinical syndrome suspected, that is: Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndromes, gastrointestinal/Lynch Syndrome panel or other. Testing for single gene analysis is available by request. Please provide clinical indication and family history. Note, non-coding regions such as promoters, deep intronic regions, and untranslated regions are not usually examined by this analysis. Ordering restricted to: Medical Genetics Recommendations: Testing is limited to Medical Genetics. |
