Panel Description
Hereditary predisposition to breast cancer refers to the increased likelihood of developing adult-onset breast cancer due to genetic factors that are passed down in families. The most well-known genes are BRCA1 and BRCA2, although there are others, including the genes on this panel. Individuals with a pathogenic variant may also have an increased risk of other cancers such as ovarian and prostate, depending on the affected gene.
This STAT panel evaluates 13 genes that have an established primary association with hereditary predisposition to breast cancer and delivers expedited results to enable accelerated clinical intervention.
