Hereditary Cancer Genetic Test or Germline Mutation Test
₹32,000.00
The Hereditary Cancer Gene Panel can accurately assess your risk of getting cancer running in the family, including prostate, lung, breast, ovarian, blood cancer, etc.
Malignancies are uncontrolled cell growth and result in cancer of the affected part. Most cancers are random and occur by chance, while others are hereditary/inherited and result from a genetic mutation. Mutations are the result of a change in the DNA sequence.
Did you have a cancer patient on your paternal or maternal side of relatives? If so, you might be at risk. At DNA Forensics Laboratory Pvt. Ltd., we provide advanced genetic testing for cancer in India & the world.
The Hereditary Cancer Test is a genetic test for identifying genetic mutations which can cause cancer. Cancers run in families, which shows its hereditary nature. The presence of such a mutation can drastically increase your risk of cancer. If you have or have had a cancer patient in your family, you may also be at high risk. However, the advancements in the medical and diagnostics fields have made advanced genetic testing for cancer possible. The Hereditary Cancer Gene Panel Test is simply a Germline Mutation Test to predict your chances of getting an inherited cancer in your lifetime.
If you are concerned about your genetic susceptibility to cancers, you can get our Hereditary Cancer Gene Panel Test. The good news is that our Cancer Genetic Testing Cost is set very competitively.
What is the Need for Hereditary Cancer Genetic Test?
There was an immediate yet, long-pending need for effective and accurate hereditary cancer genetic tests. The availability of specialized genetic testing for cancers caused numerous people to lose their lives. This was common in people who were living with the risk of cancer, but they weren’t aware and had no effective strategy at hand to treat or manage it effectively.
Most hereditary cancers show up at a younger age. That’s another reason why early detection is critical. Here, the role of the Cancer Gene Panel Test comes into play.
Exhaust gases from vehicles, industrial smoke & waste, presence of synthetic chemicals in food and beverages expose everyone to the risk of cancers. In the case of inherited genetic mutations, these factors can easily trigger the onset of cancer in the person. We can help you predict cancer risk early using a cancer gene panel test.
How Can Our Hereditary Cancer Genetic Testing Help?
The Hereditary Cancer Genetic Testing or the Germline Mutation Test is used to figure out how likely it is that a person will get cancer in the future.
Inherited mutations cause hereditary cancers. Such mutations are also called germline mutations because they occur in the eggs and sperm cells (the germ cells) of the mother and the father, respectively. It is estimated that 5–10% of all cancers are caused by gene mutations.
Genetic testing for cancer can help a genetically exposed individual in the following ways:
Detecting the Genetic Risk of Cancer
Hereditary Cancer Genetic test is the answer to the need for cancer risk assessment. The genes for cancer run in the families. A mutated variant of the gene, called the carcinoma gene, causes cancer. Genetic testing for cancer predicts the risk of cancer in a given individual. This prepares the person and helps them to mitigate the risk.
Prediction of Treatment Response
Hereditary Cancer Genetic Test also determines the response to cancer treatment besides risk assessment. This way, the Hereditary Cancer Genetic Test can help personalize medicines and the treatment for a given type of cancer in a person.
What do You get in the Hereditary Cancer Genetic Test?
The Hereditary Cancer Genetic Test tells you about the following types of cancers:
- Ovarian Cancer – Genetic test for ovarian cancer is easily detected by the Germline mutation test.
- Prostate Cancer – The prostate is a part of the male reproductive system, and Prostate Cancer is among the most common types of cancer in men. Your Hereditary Cancer Genetic test can provide detailed insights about your chances of getting Prostate Cancer much early.
- Breast Cancer – A malignant tumor in the breast tissues causes breast cancer. Our cancer gene panel test can help you understand your risks and thus plan for the best cancer treatment in the case of breast cancer manifestation.
- Colorectal Cancer – Cancer affecting the colon and/or rectum is called colorectal cancer. Depending upon the site where cancer starts, it is called colon cancer or rectal cancer, which can be easily predicted with the help of our Hereditary Cancer Genetic test.
- Pancreatic cancer – A Germline Mutation Test (Hereditary Cancer Genetic test) can also predict Pancreatic Cancer.
- Melanoma – Melanoma is the cancer of melanocytes – the cells that produce melanin (responsible for skin color). It is a rare type of, yet the most serious type of skin cancer. A hereditary cancer genetic test can almost accurately predict the chances of a person getting melanoma in their lifetime.
At DNA Forensics Laboratory Pvt. Ltd., you can rest assured about the accuracy of our reports and the cancer genetic testing cost, provided the value you get.
Who should get the Hereditary Cancer Gene Panel Test?
The Hereditary Cancer Gene Panel is an efficient genetic test for cancer. This test is for:
- Young age people who have a family history of cancer.
- Men and women who are reaching or are in their 50s.
- Children born with certain birth defects like non-cancerous skin growth on the body.
- People belonging to a certain ethnic or racial group, where cancer is more common compared to others.
- Unusual cases of a specific cancer type (for example, breast cancer in a man)

Methodology & Technology Behind Genetic Testing for Cancer
The test involves using next generation sequencing technology to sequence genes that are associated with hereditary cancer. This also includes genes that are recommended by ACMG (American College of Medical Genetics).
The blood sample is collected and processed to extract DNA. After a quality check of the extracted DNA, it is then sequenced after a targeted capture of the region of interest. The data generated is then analyzed by our team of expert bioinformaticians. In the final step, we generate your test report. If positive, we highly recommend a clinician or a genetic counselor to read and interpret the results for you.
