This panel focuses on detecting inherited genetic mutations that increase the risk of colorectal cancers, including Lynch syndrome and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). It evaluates 44 genes and is recommended for individuals with a personal or family history of colorectal, endometrial, or gastrointestinal cancers. By identifying pathogenic mutations, this test allows for early intervention strategies such as enhanced screening, lifestyle changes, and prophylactic treatments. It is a valuable resource for those seeking to understand their inherited risk and adopt preventive measures that could significantly improve outcomes.
