A BRCA gene test uses a sample of blood, saliva (spit), or cells from inside of our cheek to look for changes in your BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes that may increase risk of Cancer. Changes in your genes are called gene variants or mutations. 

Genes are parts of DNA that you inherit from your parents. They carry information that controls what you look like and how your body works. BRCA genes repair damaged DNA in your cells and protect you from getting certain types of cancer. If you have a harmful variant in your BRCA genes, they may not work properly. This increases your risk of getting cancer.
