Confirming genetic test accuracy for hereditary conditions
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study is checking whether a new genetic analysis method gives accurate results. It will use samples from people who already had genetic testing for certain hereditary conditions. If you qualify, your existing samples may be re-tested to confirm the new method works well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a genetic test for a condition like hereditary breast/ovarian cancer, Lynch syndrome, intestinal polyposis, or another rare/hereditary disorder.
- Your test was done using a Sophia Genetics kit and sequenced on an Illumina machine.
- You have a report with your results.
- You gave consent for your samples to be used in future research.
- You have a blood, DNA, or tissue sample available for analysis.

This study helps people in Switzerland who already have a known inherited cancer gene change understand what it means for them and their family. It focuses on people with specific known mutations related to hereditary breast/ovarian cancer and Lynch syndrome.
This study helps people with cancer learn about genetic testing for hereditary cancer. It aims to improve access to testing and support for those who may have an inherited risk.
This study checks tumor samples from people having surgery for colorectal cancer to look for a genetic condition called Lynch syndrome, which can increase the risk of other cancers. Finding it early can help you and your family take steps to protect your health.
This study tests a way to help people with inherited cancer gene mutations manage their health, especially if they live in rural areas. You join if you found out about the mutation more than a year ago.
This study helps identify people who may have an inherited cancer risk and checks how best to support them. Depending on the group, you may only fill out surveys, or you may also create an app account and possibly provide a DNA sample.
This study is testing whether a simple blood test can safely replace some of the more invasive procedures used to monitor people with Lynch syndrome, a condition that increases the risk of certain cancers (especially colorectal and uterine). If the blood test works as well, it could mean fewer colonoscopies and other invasive tests for those with Lynch syndrome.
