List of diseases covered by the panel
Lab method: NGS panel with CNV analysis
TAT: 6-9 weeks
Specimen requirements: 2-4 ml of blood with anticoagulant EDTA

1 µg DNA in TE, AE or pure sterile water at 100-250 ng/µl
The A260/A280 ratio should be 1.8-2.0. DNA sample should be run on an agarose gel as a single band, showing no degradation, alongside with a quantitative DNA marker.

Indications for genetic testing:

1. Testing of individuals with early-age-onset of breast or ovarian cancer
2. Testing of individuals with family history of breast or ovarian cancer
3. Testing of at-risk family members for known mutations
3. Genetic counseling

Testing should be performed if there is a family history of breast or ovarian cancer, genetic alterations have been found in the family, or there is a history of breast cancer in males in the family.

Ovarian cancers are most strongly associated with mutations of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. Among women who have a clinically important BRCA gene mutation, the lifetime risk of developing breast and/or ovarian cancer can reach 80%. Cancer-predisposing mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are inherited in an autosomal dominant manner.
