RECQL Gene Breast Cancer Susceptibility NGS Genetic DNA Test
Comprehensive Genetic Testing for Breast Cancer Risk Assessment
The RECQL Gene Breast Cancer Susceptibility NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a breakthrough in personalized cancer prevention and risk management. This advanced genetic screening utilizes Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations in the RECQL gene, which plays a crucial role in DNA repair and maintenance. When RECQL gene function is compromised, individuals face significantly elevated risks of developing breast cancer throughout their lifetime.
What Does This Test Measure and Detect?
Our sophisticated NGS-based test specifically targets and analyzes the RECQL gene for pathogenic variants that indicate increased breast cancer susceptibility. The test detects:
- Point mutations and small insertions/deletions in the RECQL gene
- Known pathogenic variants associated with hereditary breast cancer
- Novel genetic alterations that may impact DNA repair mechanisms
- Both inherited and de novo mutations affecting cancer risk
The RECQL gene encodes a DNA helicase enzyme essential for maintaining genomic stability. Mutations in this gene disrupt normal DNA repair processes, leading to accumulated genetic damage and increased cancer predisposition, particularly for breast cancer.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This comprehensive genetic screening is particularly recommended for individuals who meet any of the following criteria:
- Personal history of breast cancer diagnosed before age 45
- Family history of breast cancer in multiple generations
- Presence of male breast cancer in the family
- Individuals with bilateral breast cancer
- Those with family history of other RECQL-associated cancers
- Women with dense breast tissue and family cancer history
- Individuals of ethnic backgrounds with higher RECQL mutation prevalence
Significant Benefits of RECQL Gene Testing
Undergoing RECQL gene testing provides numerous advantages for proactive health management:
- Early Risk Identification: Detect genetic predisposition before cancer development
- Personalized Screening Plans: Tailor mammogram frequency and additional imaging based on genetic risk
- Informed Prevention Strategies: Implement targeted risk-reduction measures
- Family Risk Assessment: Identify at-risk relatives who may benefit from testing
- Reproductive Planning: Make informed decisions about family planning
- Peace of Mind: Reduce uncertainty through definitive genetic information
Understanding Your Test Results
Our comprehensive genetic counseling service helps you interpret your results with clarity and confidence:
- Positive Result: Indicates presence of a pathogenic RECQL mutation, requiring enhanced surveillance and preventive measures
- Negative Result: No detected RECQL mutation, though continued routine screening is recommended
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Identified genetic change with unknown clinical impact, requiring ongoing monitoring
- Professional Guidance: Our genetic counselors provide personalized recommendations based on your specific results
