City Price Info
The BRCA1 & BRCA2 Mutation Detection (Reflex MLPA) Test is a comprehensive genetic screening tool now available to residents across Chandigarh. Designed to assess an individual's inherited risk of certain cancers, particularly breast and ovarian cancer, this test combines advanced DNA sequencing with reflex MLPA analysis to detect both small genetic mutations and larger gene deletions that standard methods might miss. With convenient home sample collection services available throughout the city, this test empowers individuals and their families in Chandigarh to take a proactive approach to their healthcare through accurate risk evaluation, early detection strategies, and informed treatment planning.
The BRCA1 & BRCA2 test measures both sequence-level mutations and structural copy number variations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, which are vital for DNA repair and genomic stability. By identifying genetic alterations associated with hereditary risks-including breast, ovarian, prostate, and pancreatic cancers-the test provides crucial insights for personalised prevention and management. Residents in Chandigarh can easily access this specialized testing through our streamlined, home-based sample collection services, ensuring that high-quality genetic insights are available with minimal disruption to your daily life.
Helps assess risk of:
The BRCA1 & BRCA2 Mutation Detection (Reflex MLPA) test is a comprehensive genetic screening that combines DNA sequencing with reflex MLPA analysis for greater accuracy.
In this process:
BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are essential for repairing damaged DNA and maintaining genetic stability. Mutations in these genes can disrupt DNA repair mechanisms and greatly increase the risk of cancers, especially breast and ovarian cancer.

Proper collection and transport are essential; delays or contamination may impact accuracy.
Some variants may have unclear significance and require expert clinical evaluation.
Different methods vary in sensitivity; reflex MLPA enhances the detection of larger mutations.
Incomplete information may affect risk assessment and result interpretation.
Rare genetic changes may be reported as variants of uncertain significance (VUS).
Previous reports can support a more accurate and comprehensive interpretation.
|
Result |
Interpretation |
|
Negative |
No detectable BRCA mutation; standard population risk |
|
Positive |
Mutation detected; increased cancer risk |
|
Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS) |
Genetic variation detected with unclear clinical impact |
A positive result does not confirm cancer but indicates a higher risk. Preventive measures, regular screening, and medical guidance may be recommended.
Note: Genetic counselling is strongly recommended for accurate interpretation and next steps.
Your test is processed using advanced genetic technologies to ensure precise and reliable results.
Take a proactive step toward better health with early genetic risk assessment. Knowing your BRCA status helps you make informed decisions about prevention, screening, and treatment.
