Test ID: HCRC    
Hereditary Colon Cancer Multi-Gene Panel

Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful

Providing a comprehensive evaluation for hereditary colon cancer in patients with a personal or family history suggestive of a hereditary colon cancer syndrome

 

Serving as a second-tier test for patients in whom previous targeted gene mutation analyses for specific hereditary colorectal cancer-related genes were negative

 

Establishing a diagnosis of a hereditary colon cancer syndrome in some cases, allowing for targeted cancer surveillance of associated extra-colonic organs known to be at increased risk for cancer

 

Identifying mutations within genes known to be associated with increased risk for colon cancer allowing for predictive testing of at-risk family members

Genetics Test Information Provides information that may help with selection of the correct genetic test or proper submission of the test request

This test includes next-generation sequencing, Sanger sequencing, array comparative genomic hybridization, and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification to evaluate for the genes listed on the panel.

 

Prior Authorization is available for this assay; see Special Instructions

 

See Targeted Gene Regions Interrogated by HCRC / Hereditary Colon Cancer Panel by Next Generation Sequencing in Special Instructions for details regarding the targeted gene regions identified by this test.

Testing Algorithm Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
