It is estimated that around 5% of all tumours are hereditary. Identifying families with hereditary cancer allows effective early detection and tumour prevention measures to be established. Likewise, identifying the genetic origin of a tumour allows us to select the most appropriate treatment and clinical management.

60K Array CGH to test for amplifications, duplications and deletions associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer. It performs a high-resolution analysis of 7 genes linked to these tumours and can detect genetic material gains and losses of at least 1kb. The rest of the genome is analysed with an average resolution of 750kb.
Turnaround time: 15 working days from receipt of the sample.
