BRCA1 & BRCA2 Genetic Test London – Breast & Ovarian Cancer Risk Screening
Understand your inherited cancer risk with advanced BRCA genetic testing. Private, discreet screening in Central London with expert support.
BRCA Genetic Testing London
The BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes play a key role in DNA repair. Mutations in these genes can significantly increase risk for breast, ovarian, and other cancers.
At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, we provide private BRCA testing in London to help patients understand inherited cancer risk and plan proactive prevention.
What Is BRCA Testing?
BRCA testing identifies inherited mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. A positive finding can increase the risk of breast, ovarian, prostate, and pancreatic cancers, enabling earlier prevention and monitoring.
Cancer risks commonly evaluated:
- Breast cancer risk
- Ovarian cancer risk
- Prostate cancer risk
- Pancreatic cancer risk
Who Should Consider BRCA Testing?
- Family history of breast or ovarian cancer
- Relatives diagnosed at a young age
- Multiple cancer cases in the family
- Male breast cancer in the family
- Known BRCA mutation in relatives
What Does the Test Involve?
- Step 1: Blood or saliva sample collection
- Step 2: Advanced BRCA gene sequencing
- Step 3: Detailed result report
- Step 4: Optional specialist interpretation
What Do Results Mean?
- Negative: No BRCA mutation detected
- Positive: Increased inherited cancer risk identified
- VUS: Variant detected with unclear significance
What Happens If You Test Positive?
- Enhanced screening programs (MRI, mammography)
- Preventive treatments or surgery discussions
- Lifestyle and risk-reduction planning
- Family cascade testing recommendations
Early Action Matters
Early knowledge can support life-saving prevention and long-term health planning.
