BRCA I & II Gene

BRCA I & II Gene


The BRCA I & II Gene Test analyses specific genes associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer risk. Changes (mutations) in these genes can increase the likelihood of developing certain cancers during a lifetime. Identifying a BRCA mutation allows individuals to take proactive steps such as enhanced screening, lifestyle adjustments, or medical guidance. This test provides valuable information to support personalised risk assessment and early prevention planning.

What the Test Measures

This test looks for genetic variations or mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. These genes normally help repair damaged DNA, and certain inherited mutations can increase cancer risk. The results help determine whether you carry a hereditary risk factor.
