 Abstract
 
The myBRCA HiRisk test is a clinical est detecting mutations in 26 genes
associated with increased risk for breast and ovarian cancer. The test is based on next-generation sequencing and multiplex PCR del/dup detection and is performed in Veritas Genetics’ CLIA approved clinical laboratory. The test utilizes saliva or whole blood and was carefully validated on a diverse set of samples with variants representing both rare and relatively common pathogenic mutations. Validation
results are described.

 The analysis was performed blinded to exclude interpretation bias. All
positives counted were pathogenic, i.e., this analysis was not “padded” by including benign polymorphisms as true positives.
