The HRR Track Test analyses a set of genes involved in DNA repair. It uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to identify mutations in HRR genes that may lead to cancer growth. The test also helps predict a patient’s response to targeted therapies such as PARP inhibitors, which are effective in treating HRR-deficient cancers.
What is HRR Track Test?
The HRR Track Test is an advanced genetic screening tool designed to detect mutations in Homologous Recombination Repair (HRR) genes, which play a crucial role in DNA damage repair. Deficiencies in HRR pathways are linked to various cancers, including ovarian, breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancers, making them key biomarkers for treatment decisions. This test utilises Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to analyse a panel of HRR-related genes, helping clinicians assess a patient’s eligibility for PARP inhibitor therapies and other targeted treatments. By identifying HRR mutations, the HRR Track Test enables personalised cancer management and guides therapeutic strategies for improved patient outcomes.
HRR Pathway Gene List
| Gene List | Gene List | Gene List |
|---|---|---|
| ATM | BRCA2 | CHEK1 |
| PALB2 | RAD51C | BARD1 |
| BRIP1 | CHEK2 | PPP2R2A |
| RAD51D | BRCA1 | CDK12 |
| FANCL | RAD51B | RAD54L |
