BrainTumorNext is a next generation sequencing panel that simultaneously analyzes 29 genes associated with increased risk for brain tumors and other cancers/tumors. It can detect >99.9% of described mutations in the included genes, when present. Testing to be considered in Early-onset brain tumor(s) (diagnosed <50 years of age), Multiple primary cancers in one person (e.g. brain tumor and colorectal cancer), Multiple close relatives on the same side of the family with brain tumors or A family history of a mutation in a gene that predisposes to brain tumors.
Cancer:
Brain Cancer, Colorectal Cancer
Gene:
ALK (Anaplastic lymphoma kinase), APC (APC Regulator Of WNT Signaling Pathway), CDKN1B (Cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 1B), CDKN2A (Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A), EPCAM (Epithelial cell adhesion molecule), MLH1 (MutL homolog 1)
