Homologous Recombination Deficiency Test Plus (HRD Plus)

Test Code
SLS160005

What is the HRD Plus Test?

HRD Plus combines analysis of somatic (tumor-acquired) and germline (inherited) mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2, along with genomic instability. This combined approach provides a more comprehensive understanding of a patient’s DNA repair capability, which is useful for both treatment and family risk evaluation.

Genes Covered: Somatic and Germline BRCA + GSS Score

Who Is This Test For?

Patients with ovarian cancer who are being considered for PARP inhibitor (PARPi) therapy, as well as cases where there is a need to assess both tumor biology and inherited BRCA-related risk, thereby guiding genetic counseling and family risk evaluation.

Key Features

  • Combined Analysis: Evaluates both somatic and germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2
  • Genomic Instability: Assesses the genomic scar score as an indicator of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD)
  • Parallel Reporting: Provides simultaneous insights into both the tumor’s acquired mutations and the patient’s inherited genetic profile

Clinical Applications

  • Identifies eligibility for PARP inhibitors and other DNA repair-targeted treatments
  • Assists in evaluating the potential for inherited cancer risk, supporting informed decisions regarding genetic counseling
  • Enhances understanding of both inherited and acquired aspects of tumor behavior, guiding personalized treatment strategies
