of getting these cancers due to their family history and genetic
status, and for members of families in which a BRCA mutation may
be present. Our web site can be a helpful resource for anyone who

BRACAnalysis® is a genetic test that requires only a blood sample
to determine whether a patient has a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene
mutation, indicating a predisposition to hereditary breast and
ovarian cancer (HBOC). Once genetic risk is identified, there are
specific management strategies that can be employed for early
detection, risk reduction and possible prevention.
