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. ...

BRCA1 and BRCA2 are tumor suppressor genes, familial mutations in which account for 5% of breast cancer cases in the USA annually. Germ line mutations in BRCA1 that truncate or inactivate the protein lead to a cumulative risk of breast cancer, by age 70, of up to 80%, whereas the risk...
BACKGROUND: Mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are found in most families with cases of both breast and ovarian cancer or with many cases of early-onset breast cancer. However, in an outbred population, the prevalence of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in patients with breast cancer who were...
This contrasts sharply with the Working Group with Stan- ford's Program in Genomics, Ethics and Society, which recommends that "for most people, testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations is not appropriate." Although all genetic testing policies are undoubtedly motivated by a degree of self-...
"BRCA" stands for "Breast Cancer gene." BRCA1 and BRCA2 are two different genes that have been found to impact a person's chances of developing breast cancer. "This test provides information to certain individuals who may be at increased breast, ovarian or prostate cancer risk and who might...
Despite the increased cancer risk for BRCA1 or BRCA2-carrying males, national guidelines on genetic testing and cancer screening have been slower to emerge for males, and national guidelines are now beginning to include more specific measures for males. ...
