Empower gene table with cancer risk recommendations
Select the Empower gene panel of interest from the “Filter by Panel” dropdown menu to view the included genes (listed in alphabetical order). Search for a particular gene of interest in the “Search by Gene” box. By default, search results will include only genes available in panels; select “All Genes” in the “Search Scope” to expand your search to include genes available through custom order. Use the “Reset” button to start a new search.
For desktop viewing: hover your mouse over a colored dot to view how a gene confers risk for each of 15+ hereditary cancer types within a pop-up box.
