Hereditary Breast / Ovarian cancer (HBOC) (germline)

Product Code: HBOC-25

From £445.00

Registration closed: 30/11/2024

Applicable to labs that undertake germline testing for this group of disorders

Target/Genes:

Genes associated with Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer.EQA options for:
  • Targeted BRCA1/BRCA2 testing
  • Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer panel testing. The scope of this EQA is broadly in line with the genes designated high evidence (green) on the Genomics England Inherited breast cancer and ovarian cancer panel list app.
Laboratories which test the BRCA1/BRCA2 genes in the context of targeted therapies (e.g., PARP inhibitors) should register for the appropriate schemes (Germline, Somatic or cfDNA) from the following available options; Ovarian, breast, prostate and pancreatic cancers (PARPi) [DNA, Germline], Ovarian and Prostate cancer (PARPi) [Tissue], and Prostate cancer (PARPi) [Plasma] 

Technology:

CNV, MLPA, NGS, Panel testing, Sanger sequencing

Language:

English, French, German, Italian, Spanish

Sample Type:

DNA (in TE Buffer)

Accredited:

Yes

EQA Assessment

The scheme is designed to assess the entire diagnostic pipeline of a
laboratory, including sample receipt and processing, analytical processing
(genotyping), and reporting (biological and clinical interpretation of the test
result) in the context of a clinical referral, as well as reporting clarity,
content and clerical accuracy.

Sample Details

Three mock clinical cases with matching samples will be provided for panel testing.
 

Approximately 2µg (1-4 µg) DNA per sample is provided. Complete information will be available in scheme instructions.

EQA Results

Participants will receive an individual report including educational advice and a scheme report which includes additional information from the cohort of participants including geographical spread, methodologies employed, common errors, learning points and scheme statistics allowing participants to benchmark their results. Each laboratory will also receive a single certificate listing all EQAs participated in with performance result for each year.

Participation Information
Open to laboratories from ALL countries (note: some restrictions may apply*)

*Sanctions, delivery network exceptions, restrictions on importation etc.
