EndoPredict
EndoPredict is a genomic test that uses precise molecular analysis of genes relevant to the likelihood of breast cancer recurrence.
It is performed using a device that quantifies the activity of the relevant genes present in the tumor using a very small sample that can be obtained from a previously collected sample, a surgical specimen, or a needle biopsy...
Carrier testing
Genetic compatibility testing (carrier screening) is a genetic test that combines different molecular technologies to determine whether an individual—who does not, a priori, have an increased risk of being a carrier—is a carrier of mutations associated with autosomal recessive or X-linked disorders.
