Doctor explains BRCA1 & BRCA2 genetic testing for inherited breast and ovarian cancer...

In this video Doctor O'Donovan explains the BRCA1&2 genetic test. The genetic code of two genes; the BRCA-1 and BRCA-2 genes will be analysed in detail to look for alterations (mutations) that are linked with an inherited tendency to breast and ovarian cancers. Most cancers will not be explained by such an alteration, but approximately 5% of all breast cancers have developed on the background of an inherited BRCA mutation. The inheritance of such a mutation is associated with a younger than average diagnosis of breast cancer (often, but not always below the age of 50, and sometimes as young as 30), so that a strong family history of young onset breast and ovarian cancer should alert the clinician to the possibility of a BRCA mutation. Note most clinical genetic services in the UK will have referral guidelines delineating the degree of family history and NICE has issued guidance about management of such families.
