Leveraging SOPHiA GENETICS’ technology, Unipath Specialty Laboratory has introduced HRD Gene Panel, its latest offering in the cancer genomics field.
HRD is caused because of the impaired ability of a cell to repair DNA double-stranded breaks through the homologous recombination repair pathway.
It is associated with certain cancer developments including advanced ovarian cancer.
It is estimated that the incidence of ovarian cancer is likely to grow by 55% by 2035, with the death rate forecast to rise by 67% to around 254,000 patients.
