Hereditary Breast, Ovarian, and Prostate Cancer Risk Assessment
Germline Analysis for Early Detection and Personalized Care
DNA GTx’s BRCA 1 / 2 Panel focuses on two of the most well-established genes linked to hereditary breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer syndromes. By analyzing germline variants in BRCA1 and BRCA2, this test helps identify individuals at increased genetic risk—enabling proactive screening, risk-reducing strategies, and personalized care planning.
Who is this Test for?
- You have a personal or family history of breast, ovarian, or prostate cancer
- There are cases of these cancers in your family, especially at a young age
- You want to understand your inherited risk for these cancers
- You have a relative with a known BRCA mutation
Variant Types Detected
Single Nucleotide Variants (SNVs)
- SNVs are single base changes between reference and the patient's genome.
Insertions and Deletions (Indels)
Insertion
Deletion
- Indels are small changes in DNA where a few bases are either added (insertion) or removed (deletion).
Some Copy Number Variants (CNVs)
Amplification / Duplication
Deletion
- Parts of DNA that are copied too many times or missing. This can make cancer genes overactive or silence protective genes.
What it Screens for
- Germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2, linked to:
- Breast cancer
- Ovarian cancer
- Prostate cancer
Key Benefits
- Identifies Inherited Cancer Risk: Detects high-risk mutations passed down through families.
- Enables Early Detection: Supports timely screening and preventive care.
- Guides Personalized Management: Helps inform treatment and risk-reduction strategies.
- Essential for Family Planning: Provides valuable insights for relatives who may be at risk.
Turn Around Time
- 4-5 weeks
Do You Need a Doctor’s Request?
Yes. A healthcare provider must order the test and will help you understand the results and what they mean for your health care.
How it Works?
Step 1: Blood Sample Collection
- A blood draw is taken from the patient.
- The sample contains DNA that can reveal important health insights.
Step 2: DNA Extraction
- We carefully extract the DNA from the sample.
- This DNA is what we need to study your genes.
Step 3: Library Preparation
- The DNA is prepared so it can be read by our sequencing machines.
- We add special tags and focus on the most important parts of your DNA.
Step 4: Next Generation Sequencing
- This is how we ‘’read’’ your DNA using advanced technology.
- It helps us find changes or mutations in your genes.
Step 5: Data Analysis
- Our proprietary software (D-KRYPT) helps us understand what the DNA changes mean.
- The results are derived from trusted medical databases.
Step 6: Personalized Patient Report
- You got a clear, easy-to-read report with important findings.
- Your doctor can use this to guide treatment or next steps.
