BRCA1 and BRCA2 Gene Sequencing Panel near me in Chennai

BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene sequencing panel is a genetic test that checks blood for developing breast cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, and pancreatic cancer in an individual and family members. The BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes instruct the proteins that help prevent cells to become cancerous and also help in repairing the genetic material (DNA) of the cell. The changes (mutations) in these genes can cause cancer to grow. In the affected individuals this test helps determine the risk of cancer relapse and formulate clinical management decisions. For individuals above 18 years with mutations in these genes, active surveillance, risk-reducing surgeries or other preventive measures may be helpful. Genetic counseling is recommended for all individuals who undergo genetic testing at no cost.

Note: Genetic counseling can be provided. If interested, please send the request to this email id: [email protected]
