Did you know?

Germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes have been associated with an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer.¹

Approximately 25% of hereditary breast cancer cases are caused by BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations,² and around 10% of all breast cancers.³ Mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 account for around 15% of ovarian cancers overall.4 

With CarePlus Heditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Genetic test, you can be assured that no pathogenic variant will be missed.

CarePlus provides targeted and affordable BRCA1 and BRCA2 testing, and also offers an extended 26-gene panel that analyzes other relevant genes for mutations that could also increase the risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, as recommended by medical guidelines.5
