What is BRCA Testing?
BRCA testing is a genetic test that analyzes the sequence of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. These genes produce tumor suppressor proteins that help repair damaged DNA. Mutations in these genes are strongly associated with an increased lifetime risk of breast and ovarian cancer. The test is performed on a blood or saliva sample and uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to detect mutations across the entire coding region of these genes.
BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations are the most common cause of hereditary breast cancer. Individuals may choose to test only these two genes or opt for a multi-gene panel that includes other breast cancer susceptibility genes (e.g., PALB2, CHEK2, ATM). The cost varies based on the number of genes analyzed and the depth of sequencing required.
