A New Way to Test for Lynch Syndrome
Simplify the path to diagnosis with reliable Lynch syndrome testing. Lynsight’s assay, DiagMMR, tests for mismatch repair deficiency(MMR), giving providers and patients a clear picture about the presence of LS.
Tumor studies & DNA sequencing
Genetic testing has come a long way and is one of the main methods of testing for Lynch syndrome today. Testing typically starts with tumor testing and confirming Lynch syndrome through DNA sequencing. However, this method is limited, introducing challenges for patients, their families, and providers:
Accurate results require knowledge and details of the inherited gene mutation.
Diagnosis requires sophisticated and specialized interpretations.
53%-60%1-3 Lynch syndrome cases are left undiagnosed.
Testing pathways are often limited to the patient with cancer, instead of testing the entire family.
Get answers, not unclear interpretations
with Lynsight’s test, DiagMMR
Suspected but inconclusive Lynch syndrome cases stress the patient, family, and healthcare system with long and expensive interpretations – and often no answer at all. Lynsight simplifies the path to diagnosis with a reliable test that goes directly to the problem: deficient MMR function.
Here’s how it works.
Predictive, not reactive
DiagMMR detects MMR deficiency from a minimally invasive, non-malignant tissue sample – before tumors appear.
Functional test
Lynch syndrome testing is done directly on patient cells. Because we extract proteins from patient cells, we don’t need to know the underlying variant.
Actionable results
While DNA sequencing returns results faster, interpretations can take 6-8 weeks or more. DiagMMR test results are available in 4 weeks and don’t require interpretation – helping patients and families take their next steps faster.
How to test for Lynch syndrome with DiagMMR
DiagMMR is a clinically test based on over 25 years of research, and Lynsight is working on making DiagMMR accessible across the world. Please get in touch with our team if you have questions or would like to express interest in DiagMMR in your country.
