PreSENTIA: Breast High-Risk
Hereditary breast and specific types of gynecological cancers are considered some of the most common inherited types of cancer. Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in women worldwide and arises from the accumulation of genetic and epigenetic alterations that drive uncontrolled proliferation of mammary epithelial cells. While most cases are sporadic, approximately 5ā10% are hereditary and are associated with germline mutations in cancer susceptibility genes, particularly those involved in DNA repair pathways. Mutations on the genes tested in this panel have been identified to increase the risk of developing cancer in the future.
PreSENTIA Breast High-Risk cancer panel tests for numerous germline mutations in 7 genes that could cause breast, ovarian, endometrial or associated cancers in the future. Identifying germline mutations associated with cancer susceptibility empowers healthcare providers and patients, as it allows them to take better and more informed decisions.
