Use

This test code is intended for those individuals who have a family member with a known BRCA1 variant and wished to be tested only for that variant. A copy of the positive family member's laboratory report or genetic counseling letter documenting the variant is required for this testing. Only the specific region of the BRCA1 gene containing the familial variant will be tested. If the familial variant is a large deletion or duplication of BRCA1, BRCAssure®: BRCA1 and BRCA2 Deletion/Duplication Analysis [485050] should be ordered. If there is no family member with a known BRCA1 variant or if there is no documentation of the familial variant, BRCAssure®: BRCA1 and BRCA2 Comprehensive Analysis [485030] should be ordered. Please call 800-345-GENE (4343) for more information regarding documentation requirements or other questions.
