Key Features of GALEAS™ Hereditary^PLUS

Comprehensive Gene Coverage

• Target 146 high-risk genes linked to hereditary tumors
• Covers common hereditary cancers such as breast and prostate cancers
• Includes rare hereditary tumors like pheochromocytoma and Wilms tumor
• Encompasses clinically relevant non-coding regions (e.g., 5′ UTR of BRCA1/2 and APC promoter)

GALEAS™ Analysis Software for Optimized Bioinformatics

• Cloud-based bioinformatics pipeline for accurate variant interpretation
• Embedded 「Panel of Normals」 enhances CNV detection accuracy
• Enables detection of mosaic copy number variations in key genes (e.g., APC, TSC2)

Superior Precision in Copy Number Variant (CNV) Detection

• 100% accuracy in detecting CNVs in NIBSC Lynch syndrome MLPA cell lines
• Detection of single-exon to whole-gene CNVs with high reproducibility
• Improved detection of mosaic CNVs in essential hereditary cancer genes
