Test ID: BRCRC    
Hereditary Breast and Colorectal Cancer Panel

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

Establishing a hereditary susceptibility to cancer

 

Evaluation of families with a history suggestive of a predisposition to both breast and colorectal cancer

 

Identification of familial BRCA1, BRCA2, TP53, PTEN, CDH1, STK11, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, or EPCAM mutation to allow for predictive testing in 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 mutations and large deletions/duplications in the BRCA1, BRCA2, TP53, PTEN (including the promoter), CDH1, STK11, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, and EPCAM genes. Sanger sequencing may also be performed to confirm detected variants.

 

Prior Authorization is available for this assay; see Special Instructions.
