BRCA1/2 Testing Protocols Vary Extensively Worldwide

Researchers have understood for decades the importance that DNA repair mechanisms play in maintaining genomic integrity and keeping carcinogenesis in-check. For instance, the BRACA1/2 genes and protein products have been found to play a critical role in the development and outcome of breast and ovarian cancers. So important are these two genes that they become an integral part of breast and ovarian cancer diagnostics. Yet, a recent international survey of genetic testing labs shows that global p
