About this test
Breast and ovarian cancer are one of the most common cancers in women and are related to the genetic changes in the same genes.
Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome is caused by mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes and is characterized by increased risk of breast, ovarian and pancreatic cancer, whereas men have a higher risk of prostate cancer.
The average risk of breast cancer is estimated to be 13%, one in every 8 women is going to have this disease, whereas in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers the risk increases to 40-87%. In the case of ovarian cancer, the risk is up to 40%.
In this test we use the MLPA method to look for large deletions, duplications and rearrangements in the BRCA1 gene.
