94191-4
LaboratoryBRCA1+BRCA2 gene deletion+duplication and full mutation analysis in Blood or Tissue by Molecular genetics method
Definition
Test includes full sequence analysis (e.g. by Sanger and/or next-generation sequencing) and deletion/duplication analysis (e.g. by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification) to evaluate for mutations and large deletions/duplications in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. Testing is diagnostic for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and used to identify a familial BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation for future predictive testing in family members.
