Advanced Genetic Testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 Gene Mutations at Dr. Mehmet Koç’s office
Mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes significantly increase the risk of breast, ovarian, and other cancers. Early detection through genetic testing can guide preventive measures and inform family planning decisions. At Dr. Mehmet Koç’s office, we offer advanced genetic testing services to screen for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations, helping you make informed decisions about your health and family planning.
How Testing Works
- Consultation: We review your medical and family history, and your plans for a family.
- Counseling: We explain the test, what the results can and cannot show, and your options.
- Testing: A blood or saliva sample is sent for laboratory analysis.
- Results: We go through your results with you and discuss the next steps.
If you are having IVF, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) can check embryos for certain inherited conditions before transfer. Testing has limits, and we will explain them during your consultation.
