Additional Information: To ensure minimum volume and concentration of DNA is met, the preferred volume of blood must be submitted. Testing may be canceled if DNA requirements are inadequate.


Genetics Test Information

This test utilizes next-generation sequencing to detect single nucleotide and copy number variants in 24 genes associated with hereditary endocrine cancer syndromes: AIP, APC (including promoters 1A and 1B), CDC73, CDKN1B, DICER1, FH, MAX, MEN1, NF1, PHOX2B, PRKAR1A, PTEN (including promoter), RET, SDHA, SDHAF2, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, TMEM127, TP53, TSC1, TSC2, VHL, and WRN. For more information, see Method Description and Targeted Genes and Methodology Details for Hereditary Endocrine Cancer Panel.

 

Identification of a disease-causing variant may assist with diagnosis, prognosis, clinical management, familial screening, and genetic counseling for hereditary endocrine cancer syndromes.
