BRACA INFORMATION SHEET
BRACA Analysis®
General Information
BRACA Analysis® is a genetic test for hereditary ovarian and breast cancer.
This special blood test assesses a woman’s risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer by testing for certain genes ( BRCA1 and BRCA2). Sometimes an alteration of either of these two genes will interfere with the normal activity and cause an increased risk of breast or ovarian cancer. The changes in the genes can be passed to your children.
