BRCA gene testing requires: 5 mL blood sample Report in about 2 to 4 weeks |Available at Mong Kok or Wan Chai centres
According to 2021 data from the Hospital Authority Cancer Registry, there were more than 35,000 new cancer cases in Hong Kong in 2019, a record high, with an average of 96 people diagnosed with cancer every day.
Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women in Hong Kong. In 2019, it accounted for 13.7% of female cancer deaths, while in 2018 there were more than 4,600 new cases. Ovarian cancer ranked third among cancers affecting women. BRCA refers to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer genes. A BRCA gene test helps estimate the risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Mutations in BRCA genes increase the risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer.
Cancer is not untreatable. Early cancer genetic testing can help guide treatment decisions and reduce the risk of cancer-related death.
A positive result = a higher lifetime risk of developing cancer
Genetic testing may help with treatment decisions.
This test is designed for heritable germline mutations and is not intended to detect somatic mutations in tumour tissue.
Suitable for
Family history of breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer
Family members confirmed to carry one or more BRCA-related cancer genes
Early-onset breast cancer (under age 50)

It helps you understand the risk of inherited genes that may cause certain diseases in your baby.
If neither you nor your partner is a carrier, your child is very unlikely to inherit the disease.
If one partner is a carrier but the other is not, your baby is very unlikely to inherit the disease.
If both you and your partner are carriers, your child has a 25% chance of inheriting the disease.
Although hereditary genetic testing can help you understand your health history and your chances of a healthy pregnancy and baby, it is not absolute.

BRCA genes are associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer risk. BRCA1/2 mutations substantially increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer.

Current pre-pregnancy checkups often focus on fertility only. The bigger question is whether a couple may carry hereditary genes that could affect the child.
Planning for hereditary disease risk can be even more important.
