What is genetic testing?
Genetic testing is a type of medical test that identifies changes in chromosomes, genes, or proteins. The results of a genetic test can confirm or rule out a suspected genetic condition or help determine a person’s chance of developing or passing on a genetic disorder.

A particular disorder might be described as “running in a family” if more than one person in the family has the condition. Some disorders that affect multiple family members are caused by gene variants (also known as mutations), which can be inherited (passed down from parent to child).

A pointed article related to breast cancer risk assessment, “The risk of developing breast cancer is generally lower for women without a family history of the disease,” said Couch. “When we looked at all women, we found that 30 percent of breast cancer mutations occurred in women who are not high-risk.”

Conducting hereditary cancer genetic testing in the general population could enhance breast cancer risk assessment in women.

There is a common misperception that mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are relevant to women only. Not so. Everyone — both men and women — are born with BRCA genes.

A mutation in one of the BRCA genes may also increase the risk of prostate cancer as well as pancreatic cancer and melanoma.

Men can also have a mutation in BRCA1 and 2 genes, which can increase the risk of prostate cancer as well as breast cancer. Genetic screening is often recommended, especially when diagnosed at a younger age than expected.
