BRCA Genetic Testing
BRCA genetic testing looks for certain inherited changes in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes using a suitable specimen.
Why might it be discussed?
A qualified professional may discuss testing when personal or family history makes inherited cancer risk relevant. The test does not diagnose cancer and does not predict with certainty whether cancer will occur.
Important boundary
Genetic counselling or another appropriately qualified professional should support decisions about testing and interpretation. This page does not provide personalized risk estimates.
