It includes 146 genes that are known to be associated with hereditary cancers, including genes related to paediatric cancers. This panel is the only commercial option tailored to the NHS Test Directory. Preliminary work demonstrated excellent compatibility with the current library preparation process, enabling quicker integration into the automated system in use, which is crucial for the successful delivery of this project.
