Test Description

PMC Multi Organ Cancer Panel examines genes linked primarily to adult-onset| non-syndromic cancer predisposition across major organ systems| including breast| gynecologic| gastrointestinal| endocrine| genitourinary| skin| and brain/nervous system cancers. Due to overlapping clinical features of hereditary susceptibility conditions| utilizing a comprehensive panel test enables a thorough evaluation of potential genes for individuals with similar clinical symptoms. Some genes included in this panel may also be associated with conditions unrelated to the clinical indication for testing.

  • Associated Conditions
    • APC-associated polyposis conditions
    • Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T)
    • BAP1 tumor predisposition syndrome
    • Basal cell nevus syndrome, also known as Gorlin syndrome
    • Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome
    • Bloom syndrome
    • Carney complex
  • Methodology

    Targeted Exome/ Slice Exome (Next Generation Sequencing including Copy Number Variation)

  • Ordering Information
    Turnaround Time: 10–21 business days
    Preferred Specimens: Saliva Kits (available upon request)
    Alternate Specimens: Nail clippings or 3-mL whole blood in purple top EDTA tube
  • Limitations

    All sequencing technologies have limitations. A negative result from this analysis does not rule out a possible genetic diagnosis as some variants may not be detected by this test. This test is not designed to detect low level mosaicism, structural rearrangements, indels >40bp, deep intronic variants of unknown clinical significance, or large cytogenetic CNVs. Certain inherent qualities of the human genome, for example repetitive regions/homopolymers, GC rich, pseudogenes, and rare polymorphisms, pose significant technical challenges such as sequence misalignment that may potentially impact the accuracy of the results. False negative results may also occur in the setting of allogeneic bone marrow, stem cell transplantation, active or chronic hematologic conditions, recent blood transfusions, suboptimal DNA quality or PCR trace contamination. Other potential sources of error include sample mix-ups and clerical issues.
