Comprehensive Hereditary Cancer Testing
HEREDITARY CANCER
Augustus Laboratories leads in non-invasive hereditary cancer testing with our PrevenTest, utilizing a simple mouthwash sample to analyze 36 key genes associated with heightened risk for 8+ types of cancer. Our advanced genetic insights extend beyond personal health, providing critical information that empowers families with early detection strategies and personalized treatment plans.
Our hereditary cancer panels meticulously examine sequencing variants and copy number variations in genes linked to cancer susceptibility. This thorough approach not only informs healthcare providers about genetic predispositions but also aids in predicting disease progression, facilitating timely interventions, and guiding effective screening protocols.
Recognizing that hereditary cancer syndromes can manifest without obvious symptoms, our testing empowers individuals with actionable knowledge. Approximately 10% of cancer cases are attributed to these syndromes, often affecting patients and their families without prior awareness. By offering the most advanced genetic testing technologies, Augustus Laboratories supports proactive healthcare decisions, including family planning options and participation in cutting-edge research initiatives.
Trust Augustus Laboratories for precise, insightful hereditary cancer testing that enhances patient care and empowers informed healthcare decisions for individuals and families alike.

Hereditary Cancer Syndromes Overview
Augustus Laboratories is a distinguished clinical diagnostic laboratory accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) and certified under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA). Our expertise lies in next-generation sequencing (NGS) of coding regions and splice site junctions, allowing us to identify both sequencing variants and copy number variants associated with genetic predispositions.
It’s important to note that our NGS test may not detect single-exon deletions or duplications, repeat expansions, or deep intronic regions located more than 20 base pairs from an exon. Additionally, this test is not intended or validated for detecting somatic mosaicism. To ensure the highest accuracy, variants with low quality scores are confirmed using Sanger sequencing, meeting stringent coverage standards.
Furthermore, putative deletions or duplications identified through NGS are verified using an independent method such as quantitative PCR (qPCR) or multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), ensuring the reliability of our results.
Trust Augustus Laboratories for precise genetic testing services backed by rigorous quality assurance protocols and advanced technologies.
Carrier Screen
Carrier screening at Augustus Laboratories employs advanced genetic testing methodologies to identify mutations associated with a wide spectrum of inherited diseases. Our tests are non-invasive and provide comprehensive insights into the genetic health risks that prospective parents may pass on to their children.
Utilizing state-of-the-art genetic sequencing technologies, including next-generation sequencing and variant analysis, we ensure thorough detection of gene mutations linked to both common and rare genetic disorders. This approach not only enhances the accuracy and reliability of our results but also enables us to offer detailed genetic counseling and family planning guidance.
At Augustus Laboratories, our commitment to precision and quality extends to our adherence to rigorous regulatory standards, including College of American Pathologists (CAP) accreditation and Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certification. This ensures that our carrier screening tests meet the highest industry standards for clinical diagnostic testing.
By choosing Augustus Laboratories for carrier screening, patients benefit from a trusted partner in genetic health, dedicated to providing actionable genetic information that empowers informed family planning decisions and promotes proactive health management.
