Hereditary Cancers Panel Assay
Next Generation Sequencing
Hereditary Cancers Panel Assay
It contains 58 genetic related genes.Assessment of hereditary cancer risk
BACKGROUND

According to the statistics from the WHO, there were 19.05 million new cancer cases worldwide in 2024[1].Previous studies have shown 5%–10% are estimated to be hereditary cancers[2]. Most hereditary cancers follow autosomal dominant inheritance, with a 50% chance of passing a pathogenic germline variant to offspring, leading to familial clustering. Genetic testing can identify pathogenic variants, enabling tailored treatment for patients, assessing risks for additional cancers, and providing actionable risk management for high-risk individuals to achieve early screening, detection, intervention, and treatment.


BACKGROUND
COMMON HEREDITARY CANCERS


The most prevalent familial cancers include breast, ovarian, gastric, colorectal, thyroid, renal, and prostate cancers. For example, germline MMR gene mutations cause Lynch syndrome (associated with hereditary colorectal cancer, etc.), while HRR gene mutations are linked to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC) and hereditary prostate cancer. Additionally, pancreatic, esophageal, gastrointestinal stromal, endometrial, urothelial, melanoma, and other cancers also have hereditary components.
