OncoAlly™ Comprehensive Hereditary Cancer Analysis

OA011

OncoAlly™ Comprehensive Hereditary Cancer Analysis is a diagnostic test designed to identify genetic variants associated with hereditary cancer.

Test Description

OncoAlly™ Comprehensive Hereditary Cancer Analysis is a targeted test that uses a whole genome platform to detect all major clinically relevant variant types from a single sample. This targeted test focuses on 87 genes associated with hereditary cancer.

For the set of targeted genes, OncoAlly™ Comprehensive Hereditary Cancer Analysis sequences and analyzes the entire gene. In comparison, most other hereditary cancer tests only sequence and analyze targeted regions of the gene, typically exons and selected intronic regions.

Having the full gene sequence allows us to detect all clinically relevant variant types with high specificity and sensitivity, including deletions, duplications, insertions and inversions of any size.

When to Order

Order this test when:

  • A patient has a personal medical history suggestive of one or more hereditary cancers.
  • A patient has a family history suggestive of hereditary cancer.
  • Germline variant analysis for hereditary cancer predisposition is necessary to guide medical management.

Methods and Limitations

OncoAlly™ Comprehensive Hereditary Cancer Analysis uses a PCR-free whole genome sequencing (WGS) platform paired with our Genomic Intelligence® analytical software.

SNVs:
99.9% sensitivity
100% specificity
99.8% positive predictive value

Structural variants:
96% clinical sensitivity

Test limitations:
The PMS2 gene contains regions that are non-unique, therefore not all variants can be assigned to the correct location, limiting interpretation.
