Why BRCA is important?
Certain forms of cancer, up to 10% of all known cancers, are inherited. By sequencing the genes that are clinically known to be responsible for hereditary cancers, we can detect mutations that may predispose you to developing inherited cancer at some point in your life. BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are the most studied drivers of inherited breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). Choosing the right HBOC screen depends on your family history and risk profile.
