Genetic Breast Cancer TestHave You Received a False Negative Breast Cancer Test  Result? A recent report has revealed that the genetic test usually used to determiner breast cancer risk can miss mutations that help cause the disease.

This test work is supposed to work by looking for mutations in genes called BRCA1 and BRCA2. However a new study from the University of Washington showed that the test missed identifying these mutations in about 12 percent of breast cancer patients from families with multiple cases of breast or ovarian cancer. This study, which is being published in The Journal of the American Medical Association, has raised concern that many high risk patients may have received falst negative results.

The test is manufactured by Myriad Genetics of Salt Lake City Utah

The test is manufactured by Myriad Genetics of Salt Lake City Utah. Myriad holds most of the patents for this type of testing making it very difficult for a competitor with a superior test to enter the U.S. market. Myriad Genetics themselves says five percent to 10 percent of breast cancers in white women in the United States stem from inherited mutations in the BRCA genes.

I would like it known, to those concerned, what a wonderful job Benita Rollis did on my behalf concerning the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund claim. Her skill and compassion made my experience with Parker Waichman one that I will not soon forget. From the very beginning, Benita approached this whole process with the knowledge and logic of a true professional and someone who clearly loves what she does. Every time the VCF threw me a curve ball during this process, Benita knew exactly how to handle it, alleviating all fears. Also, the fact that she made herself so accessible was a major comfort. Parker Waichman is a better law firm because of Benita Rollis. I will most definitely recommend her to all who may be in need of your service. Thank you Benita and thank you Parker Waichman for helping me realize justice and absolutely changing my life as well as restoring my faith in the legal system!
