Comprehensive BRACAnalysis^®
GENETIC VARIANT, FAVOR POLYMORPHISM

This result means that the test identified a common genetic change in BRCA1 or BRCA2 that is presumed, but not yet conclusively proven, to be unrelated to hereditary cancer risk. The term polymorphism refers to benign genetic variations that are present in at least 1% of the general population and are unrelated to a significantly increased risk of disease. A patient with this result should be managed in the same manner as a patient with a no mutation detected result. Click here for information on a no mutation detected result.
