BRCA1 and BRCA2 BY MLPA1
FAQ
Are there any risks associated with this test?
The test involves a standard blood draw, a common procedure with minimal risks.
What symptoms should prompt testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations?
While BRCA mutations themselves don't cause specific symptoms, they increase the risk of cancers that do. Symptoms prompting testing might include a personal or family history of breast or ovarian cancer, particularly at a young age, male breast cancer, or multiple family members with breast, ovarian, prostate, or pancreatic cancer.
How can this test benefit individuals?
Knowing your BRCA1 and BRCA2 status can guide preventive measures and surveillance and make informed decisions regarding treatment options in case of a cancer diagnosis.
What are BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations?
Mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are known to increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancers significantly. These genes typically produce proteins that help repair damaged DNA, and mutations can impair this function, leading to cancer development.
What do positive results mean in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 by MLPA Test?
A positive result indicates significant genetic changes in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, which can increase the risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer.

Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers the BRCA1 and BRCA2 by MLPA (Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification) Test in Indore, a significant genetic test for assessing cancer risk. Carrying mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 is linked to a higher risk of several cancers, including breast and ovarian cancer in women, as well as male breast cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, melanoma, colon cancer, stomach cancer, and gallbladder cancer.
Overview of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 by MLPA Test
BRCA1 and BRCA2 are genes that, when mutated, significantly increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer. The MLPA test is designed to detect large-scale rearrangements, deletions, or duplications in these genes that standard DNA sequencing methods might not identify.
Methodologies Used in BRCA1 and BRCA2 by MLPA Test
Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA): MLPA is a technique used to detect large-scale genetic alterations, such as deletions or duplications, in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. It involves using probes that can bind to specific sequences within these genes. If there are changes in the number of copies of these sequences, it can indicate a mutation.
In some cases, additional methods like Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) or Sanger Sequencing may be used to analyze the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes further, especially if more detailed information about the genetic sequence is needed.
Why and When is the BRCA1 and BRCA2 by MLPA Test Done?
This test is crucial for:
- Individuals with a family history of breast or ovarian cancer.
- Those who have a personal history of these cancers, especially if diagnosed at a young age.
- Anyone seeking comprehensive genetic counselling for cancer risk.
BRCA1 and BRCA2 by MLPA Test: Main Highlights
- Instructions: No special fasting is required. A doctor’s prescription is mandatory.
- Recommended Age: Suitable for adults, particularly those with a family history of breast or ovarian cancer.
- Sample Type for Test: A blood sample.
