Learn about what CGx testing is and how it’s beneficial in determining hereditary susceptibility to certain cancers.
CGX or Hereditary Cancer Testing uses next generation sequencing (NGS) molecular diagnostics which allows simultaneous testing of gene mutations in multiple signal pathways. Our labs use a 30 gene panel that is selected based on their association with increased cancer risk with the most common hereditary cancers. These mutations in one’s genes may increase cancer risk.
Hereditary cancer is caused by inherited genetic mutation. The presence of potentially harmful genetic mutations in one family member makes it more likely that other genetic relatives may also carry the same mutated genes.
Genetic testing may provide information about the person being tested and their family members.
Cancer testing may also aid in early detection of cancers and often before symptoms appear.
Completing a Pharmacogenomics test is done in four simple steps
Complete a quick cancer survey with one of our HIPAA certified healthcare specialist to see if you qualify for this testing.
A licensed physician in your state will conduct a free over the phone consultation to go over your medical history.
A simple non-invasive mouth swab test will be mailed directly to your home with instructions on how to complete the test. If help is required a number will be provided on the package to answer any question.
Once the test results are returned to the lab, a licensed Genetic Specialist can be available for consultation with full confidentiality.
Testing positive for hereditary cancer syndrome can:
*HIPAA compliance law mandates that all medical diagnosis be completely confidential, results will never be public*
