BRCA1 and BRCA2
SNPedia currently contains 2654 BRCA1 SNPs and 3151 BRCA2 SNPs. Some of the variations in these genes are linked to Breast cancer and ovarian cancer, and other variations are benign. See also BRCA1 and BRCA2 for individual gene discussions and links.
Microarray platforms used by DTC genomics testing companies such as FamilyTree DNA and 23andMe usually test a fraction of the known BRCA1 or BRCA2 SNPs, typically, the most common ones. While DTC genomics testing may lead to useful results, it is not a substitute for the full genetic panel testing or gene sequencing that may be warranted by a family history of breast cancer. This webpage from the Jackson Laboratory contains three important tips to know about direct-to-consumer BRCA1/2 testing.
The percent of known BRCA1 and BRCA2 syndrome disease-causing mutations that are tested by several companies is shown in the following table:
Gene | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Company & chip version | BRCA1 | BRCA2 | ||
1% | 0% | |||
23andMe v5 | 15% | 23% | ||
54% | 49% |
The SNP list below shows which microarray platforms test for each SNP, along with that SNP's ClinVar significance and disease association; note that the most meaningful categories are CLNSIG 4 and 5, for "likely pathogenic" and "pathogenic", respectively, whereas 255 just means there's conflicting info:
