Clinical Significance | This assay uses next generation sequencing (NGS) technology to detect homologous recombination deficiency based on analysis of genomic instability and BRCA1/BRCA2 gene mutation. In tumor cells, the DNA damage is not properly repaired and the cell continues to divide. A case in which DNA repair process does not occur due to problem in homologous recombination function or mutation in BRCA gene is referred to as Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD). Tumors with HRD are particularly susceptible to specific targeted cancer therapies such as the PARP inhibitors. |
Remark | [Specimen Handling] Unstained slide: Diameter ≥ 1.0 cm, thickness 10 μm [Precautions & Cautions] ① Mark the "lesion area" on the H&E slide ② Submission is acceptable only when tumor cellularity (number of malignant nuclei / number of all nuclei) ≥ 30% |
