Understanding Your Genetic Cancer Risk: The HRR Panel Test
When cancer runs in your family, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. You might wonder if you’re next, or if your children will face the same health challenges. The NGS Homologous Recombinant Deficiency (HRR) Panel provides the clarity you need to take control of your health journey. This advanced genetic test helps identify inherited cancer predispositions, giving you and your healthcare team the information needed to make informed decisions about prevention, screening, and treatment options.
What Does the HRR Panel Test Detect?
The HRR Panel examines genes responsible for DNA repair in your cells. When these genes don’t function properly due to inherited mutations, your body’s ability to repair DNA damage decreases significantly. This “homologous recombinant deficiency” can increase your risk for developing certain cancers, particularly breast, ovarian, prostate, and pancreatic cancers. Our Next Generation Sequencing technology provides comprehensive analysis of these critical genes with exceptional accuracy.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test may be right for you if:
- You have a personal history of cancer diagnosed at a young age
- Multiple family members have had breast, ovarian, prostate, or pancreatic cancer
- You have a known family history of genetic mutations like BRCA1/BRCA2
- You’re concerned about passing cancer risk to your children
- Your doctor has recommended genetic testing based on your medical or family history
- You want to explore targeted treatment options for existing cancer
Many South African patients find this test particularly valuable when they notice cancer patterns in their family tree or want to make proactive health decisions.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health
The HRR Panel offers several life-changing benefits:
- Personalised Cancer Risk Assessment: Understand your specific genetic cancer predisposition
- Informed Treatment Decisions: Guide your oncologist toward therapies that work best for HRR-deficient cancers
- Family Planning Insights: Make informed decisions about your children’s future health
- Early Detection Strategies: Implement targeted screening based on your genetic profile
- Peace of Mind: Reduce uncertainty and take proactive control of your health
For patients in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, and across South Africa, this test represents a significant step toward personalised medicine and proactive healthcare.
Understanding Your Test Results
We understand that waiting for genetic test results can be anxiety-provoking. Our team provides clear, compassionate guidance throughout the process:
- Positive Result: If we detect a mutation, our genetic counsellors will explain what this means for your cancer risk and connect you with appropriate specialists
- Negative Result: No detected mutations provide reassurance, though continued regular screening may still be recommended
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Sometimes we find genetic changes whose impact isn’t fully understood – we’ll monitor these and update you as research progresses
Your results come with comprehensive explanations and recommendations for next steps, ensuring you never feel alone in interpreting this important information.
