The Lynch Syndrome panel, also known as hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), detects pathogenic variants in genes involved in DNA mismatch repair (MMR). This syndrome is the most common cause of hereditary colorectal cancer and is associated with a high risk of early-stage colorectal cancer, as well as tumors in other organs such as the endometrium, ovary, stomach, small intestine, urinary tract, and brain. Genetic analysis using clinical exome sequencing with CNV detection confirms the diagnosis, guides personalized follow-up, and provides genetic counseling to at-risk family members. Genes analyzed: MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2, EPCAM, and MLH3. You can consult the complete list of analyzed genes by contacting Genotica.
