HBOC Extended Panel Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer 32 Genes
Comprehensive Genetic Cancer Risk Assessment
The HBOC Extended Panel represents a cutting-edge advancement in hereditary cancer screening, offering comprehensive analysis of 32 genes specifically associated with increased risk for breast, ovarian, and related cancers. This sophisticated genetic test utilizes Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to provide detailed insights into inherited cancer predispositions that can significantly impact family health planning and preventive care strategies.
What This Advanced Genetic Test Measures
The HBOC Extended Panel examines 32 critical genes known to influence hereditary breast and ovarian cancer risk, including:
- BRCA1 and BRCA2 – Primary genes associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome
- PALB2, CHEK2, ATM – Additional high-risk breast cancer genes
- TP53, PTEN, STK11 – Genes linked to multiple cancer syndromes
- RAD51C, RAD51D, BRIP1 – Ovarian cancer susceptibility genes
- 20+ additional genes with established cancer associations
Who Should Consider HBOC Extended Panel Testing
Clinical Indications and Risk Factors
This comprehensive genetic test is particularly recommended for individuals with:
- Personal history of breast cancer diagnosed before age 50
- Ovarian cancer at any age
- Multiple primary breast cancers
- Male breast cancer
- Family history of breast, ovarian, pancreatic, or prostate cancer
- Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry with cancer history
- Known family mutation in cancer predisposition genes
- Triple-negative breast cancer diagnosis
Significant Benefits of Comprehensive Genetic Testing
Proactive Health Management
Undergoing the HBOC Extended Panel provides numerous advantages for cancer prevention and early detection:
- Personalized Risk Assessment: Understand your specific genetic cancer risks
- Informed Screening Decisions: Tailor mammogram and MRI schedules based on genetic findings
- Family Health Insights: Provide valuable information for relatives’ cancer risk assessment
- Preventive Options: Consider risk-reducing medications or surgeries when appropriate
- Peace of Mind: Reduce uncertainty about inherited cancer risks
- Early Intervention: Implement enhanced surveillance for early cancer detection
Understanding Your Genetic Test Results
Interpreting HBOC Extended Panel Findings
Your test results will fall into one of several categories, each with specific implications:
- Positive Result: A pathogenic mutation was identified in one of the 32 genes, indicating increased cancer risk and requiring consultation with a genetics specialist
- Negative Result: No mutations detected in the tested genes, though cancer risk from other factors remains
- Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS): A genetic change with unclear cancer risk implications requiring ongoing monitoring
- Benign Variant: Common genetic variations not associated with increased cancer risk
