Request / Find a Test Tool

The National Genomic Test Directories specify which genomic tests are commissioned by the NHS in England, to be delivered by Genomic Laboratory Hubs.

This tool allows clinical teams to search all of the genomic tests available to patients through the National Testing Directory. From here you can find out more details about each test and information about how to order them. These tests can only be ordered by clinical teams, if you are a patient looking to request a test please speak to your clinical team directly.

Eligibility Criteria

Living affected individual (proband) where the individual +/- family history meets one of the criteria.
1. Mucocutaneous lesions comprising one of the following:
a. ≥ 6 facial papules, of which ≥ 3 are trichilemmoma,
b. Cutaneous facial papules AND oral mucosal papillomatosis,
c. Oral mucosal papillomatosis AND acral keratosis,
d. ≥6 palmoplantar keratosis,
2. Cerebellar dysplastic gangliocytoma (Adult Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD)),
3. ≥2 major criteria, of which one should be macrocephaly
4. ≥1 major criteria and ≥ 1 PTEN-HTS-related mucocutaneous lesion,
5. ≥1 major and ≥ 3 minor criteria, OR
6. Macrocephaly ≥99th centile, AND
a. ≥ 1 minor criteria, OR
. b ≥ 1 PTEN-HTS-related mucocutaneous lesion, OR
7. ≥ 4 minor criteria, OR
8. ≥ 1 major criteria, AND ≥ 2 first / second degree relatives each with one of the following:
a. ≥ 1 major criteria,
b. ≥ 1 PTEN-HTS-related mucocutaneous lesion,
c. ≥ 2 minor criteria (multiple cases of breast cancer are not eligible for inclusion)
Deceased affected individual (proband) where (i) the individual +/- family history meets one of the above criteria, (ii) appropriate tissue is available (tumour or normal), and (iii) no living affected individual is available for genetic testing

PTEN-HTS-related mucocutaneous lesions comprise:
• Cutaneous facial papules, including trichilemmomas
• Oral mucosal papillomatosis
• Acral (dorsal) keratoses
• Palmoplantar keratoses
Major criteria:
• Breast cancer
• Epithelial thyroid cancer (non-medullary)
• Macrocephaly (occipital frontal circumference ≥97th percentile)
• Endometrial carcinoma
Minor criteria:
• Other thyroid lesions (e.g., adenoma, multinodular goitre)
• Intellectual disability (IQ ≤75)
• Hamartomatous intestinal polyps
• Fibrocystic disease of the breast
• Lipomas
• Fibromas
• Genitourinary tumours (especially renal cell carcinoma)
• Genitourinary malformation
• Uterine fibroids
Genetic testing may occasionally be appropriate outside these criteria following discussion at a specialist MDT with a cancer geneticist present
