Hereditary Cancer Tests
Our hereditary cancer testing service is designed to pinpoint genetic variants that may predispose patients to cancer. They can help individuals with a family history of cancer to learn whether they may benefit from enhanced screening measures. Patients who already have a cancer diagnosis can use our tests to learn whether they have inherited variants that may also put their family at increased risk of cancer.
How Our Cancer Tests are Designed
Our hereditary cancer tests are designed to comprise panels of all of the genes with strong clinical evidence connecting them with a cancer syndrome. The tests aim to ensure that, wherever possible, any potential disease-associated genetic variant affecting the coding sequence of the gene can be detected – they are not limited only to the most common variants in those genes.
