1. Comprehensive Genetic Analysis
Breast Cancer

deCODE Breast Cancer
deCODE Breast CancerTM identifies 7 widely
replicated genetic variants (SNPs) that are
associated with increased risk of developing
common breast cancer, independent of family
history. These SNPs contribute to the incidence
of anestimated 60 percent of all breast cancers.
It is a novel, noninvasive, DNA-based reference
laboratory test that offers physicians the
opportunityto begin screening or initiate early
treatment in those who are at increased risk.
