Recent advances in the field of genetics have resulted in the ability to perform genetic tests on individuals to estimate their risk of developing certain diseases. This predictive testing can be used to determine the presence or absence of a specific genetic factor for types of breast, ovarian,...
Extensive genetic testing portfolio to help healthcare professionals identify the most appropriate genetic test for the patients. Place genetics at the core of medical decisions!
A current case in point is testing for mutations in the hereditary breast/ovarian cancer genes (BRCA1 and BRCA2). The details of BRCA testing are complex and can be confus- ing. Only a small group of women are suitable candidates for BRCA testing (e.g., women with strong family ...
Genetic tests are available for breast, ovarian, colon,thyroid, and some other cancers. Genetic testing may help: 1、Manage increased cancer risk by having more regular cancer screening or taking steps to lower risk 2、Find if you have genes that may pass increased cancer risk to your children...
Methods: We conducted a random-digit-dial survey of 1,450 adults in Washington State to assess the publicu2019s attitudes toward genetic testing for cancer risk and to investigate correlates of intention to be tested for breast cancer risk (women) and prostate cancer risk (men). No specific ...

Others have confirmed this observationl8-20; for example, Woodage et al.'%ave confirmed the relatively high frequency of this mu- tation, finding 7.2% of over 5,000 Ashkenazi Jews to be carriers. Heredity non-polyposis colon cancer Germline mutations in five mismatch repair-related genes (hMS...
Next-generation sequencing technologies have ushered in the capability to assess multiple genes in parallel for genetic alterations that may contribute to inherited risk for cancers in families. Thus, gene panel testing is now an option in the setting of genetic counseling and testing for cancer risk...

Genetic testing, to identify pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in prostate cancer, is valuable in guiding treatment decisions for men with prostate cancer and to inform cancer prevention and early detection options for their immediate blood relatives. There are various guidelines and consensus stat...
