*Home-visit for extra £60.

At London Blood Tests, we provide advanced genetic testing services to help you understand and manage your health risks. Our Genetic Breast & Ovarian Cancer Risk Test screens for genetic variants associated with an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer. This test provides valuable insights into your genetic predisposition, allowing you to take proactive measures in managing your health.

What is it?


Our Genetic Breast & Ovarian Cancer Risk Test screens and detects genetic variants in 8 genes that may increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer. The genes analyzed include ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, CDH1, CHEK2, PALB2, PTEN, and TP53.


1. ATM: Involved in DNA repair. Mutations increase the risk of breast cancer and other cancers.

2. BRCA1: Helps repair damaged DNA. Mutations greatly increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer.

3. BRCA2: Similar to BRCA1, involved in DNA repair. Mutations also significantly increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer.

4. CDH1: Encodes a protein that helps cells stick together. Mutations are linked to an increased risk of hereditary diffuse gastric cancer and lobular breast cancer.

5. CHEK2: Encodes a protein involved in DNA damage response. Mutations can increase the risk of breast cancer and other types of cancer.

6. PALB2: Works with BRCA2 in DNA repair. Mutations increase the risk of breast cancer.

7. PTEN: A tumor suppressor gene that regulates cell growth. Mutations cause Cowden syndrome, which increases the risk of breast, thyroid, and other cancers.

8. TP53: Encodes the p53 protein, a key tumor suppressor that prevents cancer. Mutations are associated with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, which greatly increases the risk of various cancers, including breast cancer.
