PMS1 Gene Nonpolyposis Hereditary Colon Cancer PMS1 Related NGS Genetic DNA Test
Introduction
The PMS1 Gene Nonpolyposis Hereditary Colon Cancer PMS1 Related NGS Genetic DNA Test is a cutting-edge genetic test designed to identify mutations in the PMS1 gene, which is associated with an increased risk of developing hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), also known as Lynch syndrome. Understanding your genetic predisposition is vital for early detection and effective management of potential cancer risks.
What the Test Measures
This test analyzes your DNA to detect specific mutations in the PMS1 gene. By utilizing Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, it provides a comprehensive assessment of genetic markers that may indicate a higher likelihood of developing colon cancer.
Who Should Consider This Test
Individuals with a family history of colon cancer or related cancers should consider this test, especially if they have:
- Multiple family members diagnosed with colon cancer
- Colon cancer diagnosed at a young age
- Personal history of other cancers associated with Lynch syndrome
