What is BRCA1 and BRCA 2 mutation detection panel- Somatic?

This test analyzes a tissue sample, typically from a tumor, to identify acquired (somatic) mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. These mutations develop during a person's lifetime and are not inherited.

Why is this test important?

Somatic BRCA1/2 mutation testing is important for guiding treatment decisions, especially for patients with certain cancers like ovarian or breast cancer. Identifying these mutations can help determine eligibility for targeted therapies, such as PARP inhibitors, leading to more effective personalized cancer treatment.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
