The number of genes known to be involved in hereditary cancer syndromes and risk is steadily increasing. Genetic testing is recommended for the proper treatment of many cancers.
- The information provided by hereditary genetic testing determines risk of cancer, and guides therapy.
- Protean offers the most extensive testing panel available to ensure that genes are not missed.
- We produce a simplified analysis report with guidance for the busy practitioner.
- If needed, we can arrange for genetic counseling and informed consent for testing.
- The data is protected for future use if new genes are identified.
Choice of Test
The practitioner can select a focused gene panel for a particular disease site, limiting the number of genes analyzed. Protean also offers a comprehensive panel that includes all of the currently known genes associated with hereditary cancer risk.

-
Evaluates inherited medical syndromes & polygenetic risk scores.
-
Evaluates drug sensitivities and toxicities.
How is the Test Done?
The test is performed on a cheek swab sample.
Samples can be collected in the doctor’s office or at the patient’s home.
DNA samples take 2-3 weeks to be sequenced and analyzed.
Informed consent should be completed prior to sample collection, and when the results are delivered.
-
It is standard practice for a genetic counselor to meet with the patient before submitting the sample, and to discuss results after the test is completed.
-
For some patients with unusual medical conditions, we can perform a broader bioinformatics analysis to search for mutations in non-cancer related genes associated with both known and unknown inherited medical conditions.
-
Protean will retain the sequencing data for the patient and practitioner to revisit in the future. The data is complex and available in formats that can be re-analyzed with various bioinformatics systems and pipelines.
