Description

The test detects mutations in BRCA1 genes that predispose to breast or ovarian cancer; the test targets women with a family history of breast or ovarian cancer.

Detection of the mutation (>1% of women) is an indication for more frequent screening and elimination of other risk factors (e.g., smoking, stress, hormone therapy.)

According to recent reports, BRCA gene mutation can also cause other cancers including prostate and pancreatic.
