The cost of the strategies tested, including a pre-screening stage, turned out to be 30 to 90% lower than that of DS, whatever annual use was made of the equipment. The most cost-effective strategy, ie, that corresponding to the lowest cost per mutation detected, was found to be a ...

Cost-effectiveness of genetic testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations. 6100 Purpose Women who carry a BRCA1 or BRCA2 genetic mutation are at significantly increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Current guidelines recommend genetic testing of women who have a greater than 10% likelihood of ca...
Effect of uncertain variants on cost-effectiveness One study found that the cost-effectiveness of testing for breast cancer susceptibility genes was sensitive to the frequency of inconclusive test results.39 The identification of a pseudo- deficiency mutation in the Tay-Sachs disease screening program ...
The cost of testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2, at more than $3,000 in the United States, remains an obstacle for many women. I choose not to keep my story private because there are many women who do not know that they might be living under the shadow of cancer. It is my hope that the...
The test cost was calculated using the charge for full BRCA1/2 gene sequencing (Myriad Genetics, Inc.) multiplied by a Medicare-based cost-to-charge ratio. Counselors spent an average of 4.2 h providing genetic counseling for women at risk of having a susceptibility mutation. Genetic counseling...
given the varied ethnic composition of the populations. To develop a test that might be useful throughout the region and therefore sufficiently cost-effective, it is first necessary to determine whichBRCA1/2mutations are common in multiple countries. Public insurance coverage for genetic testing is ...
Fortunately, recent advances in high-throughput mutation detection and screening techniques, such as high resolution melting (HRM) analysis [24] and conformation-sensitive capillary electrophoresis (CSCE) [25] are especially promising rapid, sensitive, cost-efficient and ammenable for automation screening...

Announce- -ments described the study and indicated that participants would be offered educational sessions about the genetics of breast and ovarian cancer and surveillance and prevention options, asked to complete a series of questionnaires, offered DNA testing at no cost, and given their test ...
