LOINC description : Multigene testing for heritable breast and gynecological-related germline mutations
in genes primarily associated with breast, ovarian, endometrial cancers. Testing is
performed to confirm a diagnosis and help guide treatment and management decisions.
Identification of a disease-causing variants may also used to inform at-risk relatives.
Approximately 5-10 percent of cancers are thought to be hereditary.[PMID: 15637391]
This test is not appropriate for the detection of somatic mutations in tumor tissue
since it is focused on heritable germline mutations.;
