Test Code CDHZ Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer Syndrome, CDH1, Full Gene Analysis, Varies


Ordering Guidance


For a comprehensive hereditary cancer panel that includes the CDH1 gene, consider ordering 1 of the following tests:

-CRCGP / Hereditary Gastrointestinal Cancer Panel, Varies

-BRGYP / Hereditary Breast/Gynecologic Cancer Panel, Varies

 

Testing for CDH1 gene as part of a customized panel is available. For more information see CGPH / Custom Gene Panel, Hereditary, Next-Generation Sequencing, Varies.

 

Targeted testing for familial variants (also called site-specific or known mutations testing) is available for this gene. For more information see FMTT / Familial Variant, Targeted Testing, Varies. To obtain more information about this testing option, call 800-533-1710.
