Understanding Comprehensive Hereditary Cancer Gene Panel (SNV, Small INDELs & CNVs) in Mumbai
What is Comprehensive Hereditary Cancer Gene Panel (SNV, Small INDELs & CNVs) in Mumbai?
Comprehensive Hereditary Cancer Gene panel (SNV, small INDELs & CNVs) is a genetic blood test that assesses the risk of developing cancer in an individual and their family members by identifying changes (mutations) in multiple genes at once. It can identify mutations such as single nucleotide variants (SNV), small insertions or deletions (INDELs), and copy number variations (CNVs) with CNV analysis being predominant in this test. It can predict the risk of developing hereditary cancers such as breast, ovarian, colorectal, prostate, pancreatic, thyroid, renal, skin, endocrine, gynecological, and nervous system cancer, paragangliomas, and Li-Fraumeni syndrome. It is specifically useful for individuals with a family history of cancer with multiple affected members including younger members. Cancer screenings and certain lifestyle changes may help lower the risk of cancer.
