What can GtHC help you?
Cancers have been one of the top ten deadly diseases in the world. The cause of cancers is due to gene mutations in the body. At present, as the consciousness of preventive medicine is gaining much attention, people begin to concern about their health. Cancer genetic testing has been one of the methods to predict the risk of getting cancers.Oxford offers Genetic Testing Oncogene (GtHC), using Next Generation Screening (NGS), the latest genetic technology, to screen through 22,230 SNP and focus on 50 genes which are highly related to cancers, helping you to understand all inherited information related to cancers.
If your relatives or any elderly in your family do have cancers, it indicates that you are in the risk group of cancers, even though it does not mean that you will necessarily get cancer. We suggest that you should consult with physicians or genetic consultants, fully understand your family cancer history. GtHC helps you to discover the cancer history of your family, and plan a healthy management for the family.
Hereditary Cancer Genetic Testing, GtHC
Content
Based on more than 50 genes that are highly related to cancers, we screen through more than 22,230 SNP. Cancers include colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, prostate cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, kidney cancer, breast cancer, cervical cancer etc. (*part of cancers are listed)
Technology
Next Generation Sequencing
Participants
Family history of cancer
Bad habits such as smoking and drinking, and irregular lifestyle.
Exposed to pollution and environmental radiation.
Those who have the concept of prevention medicine.

Significance
Informing risk of getting cancer .
Those who have the concept of preventive medication. From the aspect of genetics, the participants get to master the genetic information, assisting in health management, and strengthen the preventive measures.
Understand the family history of family history of cancer, avoiding the inherited cardiomyopathy threatens family members.

Understand the family history of family history of cancer, avoiding the inherited cardiomyopathy threatens family members.
Concept of Analysis
The results of screening will compare with Human Genome version 19 (hg19), and the participants are informed the risk of cancer based on the open dataset: dbSNP, COSMIC, ClinVar and OMIM.
