Jewish BRCA Testing

Jnetics

What

Charity for people with Jewish ancestry. It offers information on BRCA testing which is testing for the presence of faults on genes called BRCA1 and BRCA2. Everyone has these, but those with a Jewish background are more likely to carry faults on them which, in turn, is linked to a higher risk of certain cancers (breast, ovarian, prostate and pancreatic). See website for more information.
