BRCA1 mutations | BRCA2 mutations | Both tested* | One gene tested | Combined estimated†| |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
*This assumes that a sample testing positive for one gene will be negative for the other; †this calculation assumes that the detection rate in untested samples for each gene will be similar; this could not be calculated for MBC and FBC/ovary and therefore a final % determined. | |||||
FBC, female breast cancer; FBC/ovary, proven ovarian cancer with breast cancer in first degree relative or second degree through father or double primary breast/ovary; FBC <36, isolated female breast cancers diagnosed at <36 years of age; 1+ ovary, one ovarian cancer+at least two breast cancers at <60 years of age; 2, breast cancers at <50 years of age; 2+ ovary, at least two ovarian cancers; 3, breast cancer at <60 years of age; 4+, breast cancer at <60 years of age. | |||||
