nameHereditary cancer multigene analysis in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method
descriptionMultigene testing for heritable germline mutations in genes associated with cancer in various organ systems, including breast and gynecologic (breast, ovarian, uterine), gastrointestinal (colorectal, gastric, pancreatic), endocrine (thyroid, paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma, parathyroid, pituitary), genitourinary (renal/urinary tract, prostate), skin (melanoma, basal cell carcinoma), brain/nervous system, and bone/soft tissue (sarcoma) & blood (myelodysplastic syndrome/leukemia). Testing is performed to confirm a diagnosis and help guide treatment and management decisions. Identification of a disease-causing variants may also used to inform at-risk relatives. Approximately 5-10 percent of cancers are thought to be hereditary.[PMID: 15637391] This test is not appropriate for the detection of somatic mutations in tumor tissue since it is focused on heritable germline mutations.
