Germline Testing

Lynch Syndrome Germline Testing

Full gene sequencing and deletion/duplication analysis to confirm a clinical diagnosis of Lynch syndrome. Lynch syndrome accounts for about 3% of all colorectal cancer (CRC) cases.2,3

Screening

Screening

Septin 9 Gene Methylation Detection

Qualitative in vitro diagnostic method for the detection of methylated Septin 9 DNA in plasma. The methylated form of Septin 9 DNA has been associated with the occurrence of colorectal cancer.4

Screening

Fecal Occult Blood Immunoassay

Qualitative detection of fecal occult blood. This test is intended only for the detection of human hemoglobin in fecal specimens and is designed for preliminary colorectal cancer screening. A positive result should be followed up with additional diagnostic procedures.5

Comprehensive Lynch Syndrome Tumor Testing

Tumor testing can reveal whether the colorectal cancer is caused by the genes related to Lynch syndrome. Tumor tests include immunohistochemistry and/or molecular analysis. Positive/absent results indicate a malfunction in the genes connected to Lynch syndrome.
