Lynch Syndrome Panel 21 genes
This panel analyzes genes associated with Lynch syndrome and constitutional mismatch repair deficiency syndrome (CMMR-D), two inherited conditions associated with an increased risk of developing certain cancers.
Genetic testing can provide valuable information by helping to:
-
Confirm or clarify a clinical diagnosis
-
Identify an inherited cancer predisposition
-
Assess potential cancer risk
-
Support appropriate cancer screening and surveillance
-
Help inform disease prognosis and progression
-
Facilitate earlier detection of cancer or related symptoms
-
Inform family planning and genetic counseling
-
Identify potentially affected relatives who may benefit from genetic testing
-
Support consideration for relevant clinical trials
Identifying a disease-causing genetic variant may help patients and healthcare professionals develop an appropriate medical management and surveillance plan based on the individual's hereditary cancer risk.
Important Testing Information:
This panel is specifically designed to identify heritable germline genetic variants. It is not intended to detect somatic mutations in tumor tissue and should not be used as a substitute for tumor-based somatic testing.
