Counseling and predictive testing are now available for the recently isolated BRCA1 and BRCA2 breast cancer susceptibility genes. We examined the societal costs of providing this counseling and testing to women at risk of having a breast cancer susceptibility mutation. Genetic counselors in a research...
[Abstract]Germline mutations inBRCAgenes (includingBRCA1/2) are the major risk factors for hereditary tumors including breast and ovarian cancer. Population basedBRCAgene screening, particularly in high-risk individuals with a ...

At-home genetic testing that includesBRCA1andBRCA2costs around $200 to $300. However, these tests typically only detect threeBRCAmutations out of the more than 1000 which have been identified. If you have a positive result with an at-home test, you will need to confirm the result with a...
For example, recent health economic studies of genetic testing for an increased risk of breast cancer suggest that it is associated with higher cost-effectiveness to screen for pathogenic variants in a seven gene panel rather than the usual two gene test for variants in BRCA1 and BRCA2. ...
testing in the population, including screening scenarios, technical approaches, quality control, result interpretation and reporting, as well as genetic counseling. Through multidisciplinary discussions and Delphi questionnaire survey "expert consensus on population-based BRCA germline mutation screening in ...
gene sequencing followed by a single-site test (i.e., confirmatory testing) in women who tested positive prior to family cascade testing. For the cascade testing, we assumed that the family members ofBRCA-positive cases had single-site testing. Thus, the cost ofBRCAtesting was AU$1,200 ...
ARTICLE Timing of BRCA1/BRCA2 genetic testing in women with ovarian cancer Molly S. Daniels, MS1, Diana L. Urbauer, MS2, Jennifer L. Stanley, BS1, Kristin G. Johnson, BSN3, and Karen H. Lu, MD1 Purpose: To determine when, in reference to the course of their treatment, women with...
Patients with a higher likelihood to develop BRCA 1 or BRCA 2 mutations are slipping through the cracks, making testing for these mutations a vital part of any breast cancer treatment plan. It’s important for their providers to test for BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations in patients with...
If the cost of gene testing were $50, then the cost of the program would be 256 discounted dollars per QALY gained. Acceptable costs and lifesavings What constitutes an acceptable cost to society for lifesaving strategies and what number of lives saved is sufficient to merit public heath ...
