Hereditary cancer screening

Hereditary cancer is defined as a high degree of cancer risk in family members. This risk comes from inherited mutations that occur in specific genes.

The statistics show:

  • 10% of cancers are caused by genetic factors (5)
  • 20% of cancer patients have a family history of cancer (5)
  • Detecting breast cancer at an early stage increases the 5-year survival rate after treatment to 99% compared to 27% in the late stage (6)

Product

Next-Generation Sequencing System – NextSeq 2000

 The NextSeq 2000 Sequencing System uses patterned flow cells similar to those that power the NovaSeq™ 6000 System. The result is a highly flexible and scalable benchtop system that offers the highest cluster density flow cell of any on-market NGS system to date, driving down the cost per gigabase (Gb) of the sequencing run.
