Hereditary Breast & Ovarian Cancer Test
Know Your Genetic Risk. Take Informed Next Steps. Your genes can play an important role in your risk of developing certain cancers. This genetic test looks for inherited changes in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes that may increase your risk of breast and ovarian cancer. As part of hereditary screening, it can help you and your doctor better understand your risk profile and make informed decisions about appropriate screening, prevention, and further evaluation, especially if you have a family history or concerns about breast cancer symptoms. Genetic or Oncologist counselling is recommended to help interpret your results and understand the next steps.
BRCA1 & BRCA2 genetic analysis to assess inherited risk linked to hereditary breast and ovarian cancers.
Advanced genetic sequencing to identify important changes in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, including small genetic changes and larger copy number changes.
Identifies clinically significant genetic variants that may be associated with an increased risk of hereditary cancer.
Comprehensive analysis of both BRCA genes using high-coverage sequencing across the targeted genetic regions.
Particularly valuable with a strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer, helping provide additional insight into inherited cancer risk.
Valeo doesn't provide Report review. Genetic or Oncologist counselling is recommended to help you understand your result and what it may mean for future screening and care.

BRCA1 gene BRCA2 gene
Your test results will provide detailed information on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, which are associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer risk. The test analyzes these genes for inherited genetic changes (variants) that may increase the risk of developing certain cancers. Together, the results can provide important information about your genetic predisposition to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and may help guide appropriate follow-up, screening, and genetic counselling.
When Should You Consider a BRCA1 & BRCA2 Genetic Test?
This test may be particularly relevant for individuals with a personal history of breast cancer at a young age, a strong family history of breast or related cancers, ovarian cancer in the family, male breast cancer in the family, or a known BRCA mutation. These factors may indicate an increased likelihood of an inherited BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation and may warrant genetic testing and appropriate clinical or genetic counselling

What is a hereditary breast cancer blood test?
A hereditary breast cancer blood test is a genetic test that analyses inherited gene changes associated with increased breast cancer risk.
What genes are tested for hereditary breast cancer?
Many hereditary breast cancer tests include analysis of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes along with other cancer-related genes depending on the test panel.
Who should take a BRCA genetic test?
People with a family history of breast or ovarian cancer or those advised by a healthcare professional may consider genetic testing.
Does a hereditary breast cancer test diagnose cancer?
No. Genetic testing assesses inherited risk factors and does not diagnose whether someone currently has cancer.
How is a hereditary breast cancer test performed?
The test is typically performed using a blood sample that is analysed for specific inherited genetic variations.
Why is family history important for genetic testing?
Family history can provide important information about patterns of inherited health risks and help determine whether genetic testing may be appropriate.
Where can I get a hereditary breast cancer blood test in UAE?
Genetic testing services are available through specialised healthcare providers offering genetic screening and personalised health assessments in the UAE.
What Is a Hereditary Breast Cancer Blood Test?
A hereditary breast cancer blood test is a genetic test that analyses specific genes associated with inherited cancer risk. Unlike standard health tests or a cancer detection blood test, genetic testing focuses on identifying inherited gene changes that may be linked to a higher likelihood of developing hereditary breast and ovarian cancers.
This hereditary screening can provide valuable information about your genetic health profile and help guide conversations with healthcare professionals about personalised screening, monitoring, and preventive care options. It can also help healthcare professionals assess whether further evaluation may be appropriate, particularly for individuals with a family history of breast cancer or concerns about breast cancer symptoms.
At Valeo Health UAE, hereditary breast cancer genetic testing provides individuals with deeper insights into their health history and inherited risk factors, supporting informed discussions about appropriate screening and preventive care.
