myCancerRisk myCancerRisk Genetic test to determine hereditary cancer risk myCancerRisk is a genetic test that determines the risk of hereditary cancer through exome sequencing and subsequent study of 40 genes related to the most common types of hereditary cancer. The test is particularly indicated for: People who have been diagnosed with cancer. People with first-degree relatives with cancer before the age of 50. People with a family history of cancer in several family members that suggests a hereditary component. People who want to know their hereditary cancer risk. myCancerRisk includes: Whole exome sequencing and interpretation of 40 selected genes including analysis of CNVs (Copy Number Variants) in specific genes.Storage of sequencing data for subsequent re-analysis.Possibility of extending the study to other genes of interest to the specialist.Advice offered by medical geneticists for both the patient and the specialist, if requested.In case of reclassification of previously reported variants, the information is updated to the specialist when they have clinical impact.

FIND OUT MORE PATIENT BROCHURE Advantages of myCancerRisk myCancerRisk can detect a greater number of patients at risk of hereditary cancer than targeted panels. Analysis of the most relevant genes related to the most frequent types of hereditary cancer in a single test. If a pathogenic variant is present, it is possible to implement screening strategies or risk reduction options in the patient and the study of relatives. Analysis of variants by a dedicated team, based on the latest knowledge. Genetic panels that include several cancer types detect about 50% more patients at risk of cancer compared to targeted panels. Genetic counselling included in the service. Possibility of extending the study to other genes in the exome, at the discretion of the specialist, without the need for a new sample. The detection of variants in genes related to the development of cancer is key to adopting preventive measures. Advice to the specialist Veritas offers a differential service by providing advice to the specialist for the interpretation of your patient’s results, whenever you need it.

Recurso 27DOWNLOAD Frequently asked questions about myCancerRisk How does the myCancerRisk test work?myCancerRisk is a genetic sequencing test that is performed from a simple saliva sample. We sequence the entire exome (Whole Exome Sequencing) and issue a results report, the impact of which must be assessed by a specialist. All our tests must be prescribed by a doctor and include pre and post test genetic counselling. Is myCancerRisk suitable for all ages?myCancerRisk is a test that is designed for people of legal age and is especially relevant in those cases in which there is a personal or family medical history that suggests the existence of hereditary pathology.
