Genetic testing
Hello. Hope you are all having a good day. I'm off to see a geneticist at the Royal Brisbane Womens Hospital on Monday. I may not have to have a genetic test, it depends on my interview. I have 3 aun...
Hi, I had genetic testing late last year, my sister, mother, grandmother and 3 aunts all had breast cancer, so I was lucky No.7:( I am not BRCA 1 or 2 positive, however, they did find a variant in the BRCA 2 gene, which I was told could be good or bad. The problem is, there has not been enough research done to identify this variant. I was told that down the track, who knows? there could be a BRCA 3,4 or 5. I will contact them in a couple of years to see if they have made progress with the research. They just don't know enough. They will give you the options when you have your appointment. All the best,
