What can GtBRCA help you?
Many genes are related to the risk of getting inherited breast cancer or prostate cancer. BRCA1 and BRCA2 have classified as inherited breast cancer or prostate cancer, even though the genes mutation which lead to breast cancer or prostate cancer is accounted only 10 % of the whole breast cancer patients.However, if one detects with the gene mutation of BRCA1/2, the risky rate of getting breast cancer or ovarian cancer is 40-80% and 16-60% respectively. Besides, BRCA1/2 mutations are hight related to other cancers, such as colorectal cancer, pancreatic cancer, or prostate cancer. Therefore, BRCA1/2 gene testing is not limited only to women, but men also need to be aware of BRCA1/2.
Oxford offers GtBRCA, using Next Generation Screening(NGS), the latest genetic technology, to screen through 22,510 SNP and focus on 2 genes, helping you to understand all inherited information related to breast cancer, ovarian cancer and prostate cancer. If your relatives or any elderly in your family do have the mentioned cancers, it indicates that you are in the risk group, even though it does not mean that you will necessarily get cancer.
We suggest you to consult with physicians or genetic consultants, fully understand your family cancer history. BRCA1/2 helps you to discover the cancer history of your family, and plan a healthy management for the family.
BRCA1/2 Genetic Testing, GtBRCA
Content
Based on two genes that are highly related to breast cancer, ovarian cancer and prostate cancer, we screen more than 22,510 SNP.
Technology
Next Generation Sequencing
Participants
Family history of breast cancer, ovarian cancer and prostate cancer.
Exposed to bad environment such as smoking and drinking, and irregular lifestyle.
Exposed in the polluted and radiated environment.
Those who have a concept of preventive medication.
Exposed to bad environment such as smoking and drinking, and irregular lifestyle.
Exposed in the polluted and radiated environment.
Those who have a concept of preventive medication.
Significance
Informing the related cancer risk of the participants.
Those who have the concept of prevention medicine, get to know the inherited information, strengthening health management, and prevention.
Those who have the concept of prevention medicine, get to know the inherited information, strengthening health management, and prevention.
Concept of Analysis
The results of screening will compare with Human Genome version 19 (hg19), and the participants are informed the risk of cancer based on the open dataset: dbSNP, COSMIC, ClinVar and OMIM.
