Next-generation sequencing assay to analyze mutations of all coding exons of the BRCA1 and BRCA2genes including point mutations and small insertions/deletions, which can lead to an increased risk of cancers, particularly breast and ovarian cancer. This test does not detect large deletions or duplications.
Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded(FFPE) tissue block (preferred, 40% tumor or more) or slides (1 H&E slide,plus 5-10 unstained slides cut at 5+ microns. Please use positively-charged slides and 10% NBF fixative. Do not use zinc fixatives.
Use cold pack for transport. Make sure cold pack is not in direct contact with specimen.
