BRCA1 & BRCA2 deletion/duplication analysis

BRCA1 & BRCA2 Deletion/Duplication Analysis

BRCA1 & BRCA2 Deletion/Duplication Analysis is a genetic test that detects large deletions and duplications (copy number variations) in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. These genetic changes are associated with a significantly increased risk of hereditary breast, ovarian, prostate, and pancreatic cancers.

Test Overview

• Sample Type: Blood (EDTA)
• Method: MLPA (Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification) / NGS-based CNV Analysis
• Fasting Required: No
• Reporting Time: 2–4 weeks (may vary by laboratory)

Who Should Consider This Test?

• Individuals with a strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer
• Patients diagnosed with breast cancer at a young age
• Individuals with bilateral or multiple primary cancers
• Families with known BRCA mutations
• Men with breast cancer or a family history of hereditary cancers
• Those seeking hereditary cancer risk assessment

Why is This Test Important?

• Detects large gene deletions and duplications missed by routine sequencing
• Identifies inherited cancer susceptibility
• Helps estimate lifetime cancer risk
• Supports personalized cancer screening and prevention
• Assists in treatment decisions, including targeted therapies
• Enables genetic counseling and family risk assessment

Conditions Associated

• Hereditary Breast Cancer
• Ovarian Cancer
• Prostate Cancer
• Pancreatic Cancer
• Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) Syndrome

Benefits

• Early identification of hereditary cancer risk
• Personalized surveillance strategies
• Informed preventive healthcare decisions
• Better treatment planning
• Family members can undergo predictive testing if required

Preparation

No special preparation or fasting is required. Genetic counseling before and after testing is recommended for proper interpretation of results.
