The review of genetic screening services and common BRCA1/2 variants among South African breast cancer patients.

Journal of genetic counseling - 1 Jun 2024

Makhetha Mpoi, Walters Sarah, Aldous Colleen

Abstract excerpt

The South African genetic screening services for breast cancer comprise targeted and comprehensive tests that screen for the presence of genetic alterations. Clinically, these variants determine the risk of disease development as well as treatment approaches best suited for carriers. The current targeted tests screen for seven pathogenic sequence variants, which are mainly common among Whites, a population that...
