SOPHiA Homologous Recombination Solutions
Broaden your HRR deficiency detection capabilities
The evaluation of the HRR status has become a key element of the oncologist’s arsenal to reveal the sensitivity to targeted PARP inhibitors (PARPi), a cancer therapy targeting poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase, and assess both disease predisposition and prognosis.
To avoid missing potential homologous recombination repair (HRR) deficient samples, an increased number of labs expand the focus beyond BRCA and explore multiple variant types, including CNVs.
SOPHiA GENETICS solutions enable accurate analysis of the HRR status, covering up to 16 genes involved in the HRR pathway and encompassing SNVs, indels, as well as CNV screening. SOPHiA Homologous Recombination Solution (SOPHiA HRS) and SOPHiA mini-Homologous Recombination Solution (miniHRS) are sample-to-report NGS-based applications, that combine an expertly designed capture-based target enrichment kit with access to the analytical capabilities and interpretation-support functionalities of the SOPHiA DDM™ platform. These solutions empower in-house expertise by providing high analytical performance* and streamlined bioinformatics workflows with several intuitive features, that accelerate variant assessment and interpretation.

Expertly designed pipelines to confidently assess CNVs
Screening CNVs in FFPE samples is challenging because it is strongly affected by the FFPE-induced degradation of the input DNA, tumor content, and heterogeneity. SOPHiA GENETICS algorithms have been designed to accurately identify CNVs whose breakpoint falls within a gene of the panels.
Dedicated features to ease variant interpretation
The SOPHiA DDM™ platform features intuitive variant filters and prioritization options to streamline interpretation and help you greatly reduce turnaround time.
- Hotspot Screening to quickly pinpoint the relevant hotspots and provide a clear overview of wild-type hotspot positions
- Variant Pre-Classification to facilitate assessment of variants’ pathogenicity
- Virtual Panels to limit the interpretation to a subset of genes
- Cascading Filters to enable user-created custom filtering strategies for quicker identification of relevant variants
- OncoPortal™ to support decisions based on the Jax-CKB™, CAP, ASCO, AMP, and other data bases
