BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation analysis Sequencing - Book Test at Low Cost

BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation analysis (or sequencing) is a type of genetic test used to detect gene mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes that are associated with an increased risk of developing certain types of cancer. The presence of these mutations is especially important for individuals who have a family history of cancer as they may indicate a higher risk of developing certain inherited cancers, such as breast and ovarian cancer.

By sequencing the genes, any changes or mutations in the DNA are identified, allowing healthcare professionals to provide informed healthcare advice.

Why is BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation analysis (Sequencing) done?

BRCA1 and BRCA2 are the two human genes. These genes produce the tumor suppressor proteins. The mutation in any of these two genes can increase the risk of developing a certain type of cancer such as breast cancer or ovarian cancer.

This test is ordered to

• Spot the mutations in the genes
• Pinpoint the risks of developing cancer
• Plan an appropriate preventive treatment.

Sample Type Required

A blood sample or Saliva Sample

Preparation

This testing procedure doesn’t need any preparation before the procedure.
