Punctual Variant

Analysis of known genetic or hereditary mutations

Why undergoing this examination?

The term mutation refers to a change in the DNA nucleotide sequence that can result in altered proteins or gene expression. A DNA change can either enhance the organism or lead to genetic disorders, known as pathogenic mutations. 

What is the exam?

The Point Mutation test involves the analysis of any genetic alteration previously reported in a family member. 

For whom is it indicated?

  • Individuals with a family history of hereditary cancer who want to confirm if they have the same mutation identified in the family. 
  • Patients with a family history of a genetic syndrome who want to confirm if they have the same mutation identified in the family.
