What is the maximum days the report can be obtained for the test

The maximum days the report can be obtained for the test RB1 Gene Analysis (Germline) Test is typically 10 to 14 business days. However, this may vary depending on the specific lab or facility conducting the test.

What are the prerequisites for the test RB1 Gene Analysis (Germline) Test

  • Patient must have a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of retinoblastoma or a family history of retinoblastoma
  • Test must be ordered by a qualified healthcare provider
  • Signed informed consent form must be provided
  • Blood or saliva sample must be collected and sent to the laboratory for analysis

What are the measure values for the test RB1 Gene Analysis (Germline) Test

  • Test Name: RB1 Gene Analysis (Germline) Test
  • Measure Values:
    • Presence or absence of mutations in the RB1 gene
    • Genetic risk assessment for retinoblastoma
    • Carrier status determination for hereditary retinoblastoma

What does this test RB1 Gene Analysis (Germline) Test identify?

  • This test identifies mutations in the RB1 gene that are present in the germline DNA of an individual.
  • The RB1 gene is a tumor suppressor gene that plays a crucial role in controlling cell division and preventing the development of cancer.
  • Mutations in the RB1 gene can increase the risk of developing certain types of cancer, particularly retinoblastoma (a rare eye cancer that primarily affects children) and osteosarcoma (a type of bone cancer).
  • Identifying mutations in the RB1 gene can help healthcare providers determine an individual's risk of developing cancer and guide personalized treatment and management strategies.

Why is this test RB1 Gene Analysis (Germline) Test taken?

The RB1 Gene Analysis (Germline) Test is taken to identify mutations or alterations in the RB1 gene that may increase the risk of developing certain types of cancer, particularly retinoblastoma. Retinoblastoma is a rare type of eye cancer that typically affects young children.

Individuals with a family history of retinoblastoma or other cancers may undergo this test to determine if they carry a genetic predisposition to these conditions. Identifying mutations in the RB1 gene can help healthcare providers develop personalized screening and treatment plans to manage the individual's cancer risk.
