PreSENTIA Hereditary Pancreatic Tumor Panel

General Information

Pancreatic cancer is the 7th leading cause of cancer death. 10% of pancreatic cancer cases are hereditary pancreatic cancers, in which the cancer-causing mutation is passed down from parent to child.

The PreSENTIA Hereditary Pancreatic Cancer Panel examines inherited mutations that may cause pancreatic cancer in the future.

 Who is the research for?

If even one of the following criteria is present, it is necessary to conduct research:

• Pancreatic cancer in a first-degree relative before the age of 50
• Personal or family history of hereditary pancreatic tumors
• Inherited mutations identified in a family member that could cause cancer in the future

How many genes does the panel test for?

The PreSENTIA Hereditary Pancreatic Cancer Panel examines 17 genes

Panel-associated syndromes

• Ataxia-telangiectasia syndrome (ATS)
• Constitutional mismatch repair syndrome (EPCAM, MSH2, MSH6, MLH1, PMS2)
• Familial adenomatous polyposis / Familial adenomatous polyposis (APC)
• Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (BRCA1, BRCA2)
• Hereditary melanoma-pancreatic tumor syndrome (CDKN2A, CDK4)
• Juvenile polyposis syndrome (SMAD4, BMPR1A)
• Li-Fraumeni syndrome (TP53)
• Lynch syndrome (EPCAM, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2)
• Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1)
• Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (STK11)

Sampling for research will be done:

• In the regions: Thursday   
• In Tbilisi: Thursday and/or Friday (first half of the day)

Samples will be sent on Friday afternoon! For this, samples must be sent to the central laboratory by Friday 12:00.

The taken sample is sent and the research is conducted in the laboratory MEDICOVER Genetics– He in a laboratory with international accreditation.

Of the product Contents

Pattern Collectible Device: Two (2) buccal swab collection devices.

Packaging Materials: One (1) biosafety bag for sample sealing,

One (1) safety sticker.

Documentation:

1. One (1) barcode card with two (2) labels
2. Sample Entry Form (SIF)
3. Informed Consent Form

Pattern Collection Instruction

1. Fill out the sample collection form.
2. Write the patient's full name on the barcode label and attach it to the cheek swab collection device.
3. Using gloves, open the bag and remove the plastic tube.
4. To easily open the cap of the tube, hold the swab of the plastic tube with one hand and press the white cap with your thumb.
5. Hold the tampon by the handle (with the white cap), remove the tampon from the plastic tube, and place the tube on a clean surface.
6. Place the swab in your mouth on your tongue and wet it with saliva for ten seconds.
7. Move the swab on one side of the mouth between the cheek and gums in an up-down direction for 10 seconds. At the same time, massage the outside of the cheek with the other hand to increase the friction of the tampon with the mucous membrane.
8. Repeat the sequence of point 7 on the other side of the mouth.
9. After taking the sample, put the swab back into the plastic tube and close it securely.
10. Place the sample in a biosafety bag and seal it securely.
11. Place the sealed bag in a buffered envelope.
12. Remove the cover from the envelope's adhesive strip and seal the envelope.

important Information

• The buccal mucosa sample should be collected immediately after opening the package.
• Do not bend the swab with excessive force when collecting a patient sample, as this may cause the swab to break.
• For 30 minutes before sample collection, the patient is prohibited from: smoking, consuming food and fluids (except water), brushing teeth, and chewing gum.
• Please carefully follow the instructions for sample labeling, collection, and transportation.
• Verify all patient identification data for accuracy and compliance with requirements prior to sample packaging and transport.
