Overview
The purpose of this test is to analyze the transcriptome of eukaryotic cells to identify gene expression patterns associated with diseases. It helps in diagnosing genetic disorders, classifying cancers, predicting prognosis, and identifying potential therapeutic targets. The inclusion of lncRNA analysis provides insights into regulatory mechanisms that may not be evident from protein-coding genes alone.

Understanding Your Results
Upregulated oncogenes
May indicate active cancer pathways, potential targets for therapy
Downregulated tumor suppressors
Loss of protective function, may correlate with aggressive disease
Dysregulated lncRNAs
May serve as biomarkers or therapeutic targets
Gene fusions
Often driver mutations in cancers, may guide targeted therapy
Pathway enrichment
Identifies biological processes affected, aiding in understanding disease mechanism
Consult your doctor if you have symptoms suggestive of a genetic disorder, cancer, or unexplained medical condition. Also, if you have a family history of hereditary diseases, discuss the need for this test.
Limitations
