RiskGYNE
Visão geral
O RiskGYNE é o nosso teste de BRCA mais completo que analisa todas as mutações nos genes BRCA1 e BRCA2 relacionadas com o cancro hereditário de mama e de ovário, bem como de outros 22 genes intimamente relacionados também com estes dois tipos de cancro.

Fundamentos do teste RiskGYNE
RiskGYNE recolhe e sequencia todas as regiões genómicas de 24 genes, usando técnicas modernas de Sequenciamento de Nova Geração (NGS) em combinação com abordagens mais clássicas da genética molecular.
Através do RiskGYNE, é possível detetar mutações pontuais em exões, regiões intrónicas profundas (até 45bb) e em regiões regulatórias não-traduzidas dos genes, bem como algumas variantes estruturais.
A lista completa de genes que o teste RiskGYNE analisa é:
- ATM, BARD1, BRCA1, BRCA2, BRIP1, CDH1, CHEK2, EPCAM, MLH1, MRE11A, MSH2, MSH6, MUTYH, NBN, NF1, PALB2, PMS2, POLD1, PTEN, RAD50, RAD51C, RAD51D, STK11 e TP53.
Indicações de uso para RiskGYNE
RiskGYNE é indicado para detetar mutações nos genes BRCA1 e BRCA2, bem como outras 22 mutações genéticas relacionadas com o cancro hereditário de mama e de ovário para um estudo completo.
Além disso, ao contrário dos testes de BIOPROGNOS para ajudar no diagnóstico (como OncoBREAST Dx, OncoLUNG Dx, OncoOVARIAN Dx, OncoPROSTATE Dx ou OncoCUP Dx), o RiskGYNE não necessita receita médica.
Como fazer o teste
Uma vez concluído o processo de compra através desta página web, receberá um Kit de Saliva em sua casa para recolher uma amostra da sua saliva.

Depois de receber o nosso Kit de Saliva, por favor siga as instruções incluídas e envie-nos novamente (portes pagos).
Cerca de 20 dias úteis depois (dependendo da sua localização), os resultados de RiskGYNE serão enviados por email para o correio eletrónico fornecido durante o processo de compra.
