What is BRCA 1 and 2 MUTATION DETECTION (Germline) with MLPA?

This test analyzes your blood sample to detect inherited changes (mutations) in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes using MLPA technology. These genes play a crucial role in repairing damaged DNA and preventing tumor growth.

Why is this test important?

Identifying BRCA1/2 germline mutations is vital for assessing an individual's inherited risk of developing certain cancers, particularly breast, ovarian, prostate, and pancreatic cancers. It helps guide personalized screening, prevention strategies, and treatment decisions for affected individuals and their families.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fast before my blood test?
