Description of BRCA1/BRCA2 Gene Analysis NGS Test
- Comprehensive Genetic Testing: The BRCA1/BRCA2 Gene Analysis NGS Test uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) to identify mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes.
- Cancer Risk Assessment: Detects genetic variations associated with an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancers.
- High Precision: Utilizes advanced sequencing technology for accurate detection of small mutations, deletions, and duplications.
Uses of BRCA1/BRCA2 Gene Analysis NGS Test
- Risk Evaluation: Assesses the risk of developing breast and ovarian cancers by identifying mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes.
- Family Planning: Informs family members about their potential genetic risk and guides preventive measures.
- Treatment Decisions: Helps in tailoring personalized treatment plans for individuals with known BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations.
- Screening and Prevention: Supports regular screening and preventive strategies for individuals at high genetic risk.
