Tests
BRCA is short for "breast cancer gene." A BRCA genetic test uses a sample of your blood, saliva (spit), or cells from inside of your cheek to look for changes in your BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. Genes are parts of DNA in your cells that you inherit from your parents. You inherit two copies of each gene, one from each parent. Genes carry information that controls what you look like and how your body works.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in cell cycle control, regulation of transcription and the maintenance of genomic stability. It is also involved in the inhibition of mammary cell growth.
Indicators
This gene is involved in cell cycle control, DNA repair and the maintenance of genomic stability. It also plays a role in the proliferation of embryonic cells.
Indicators
This gene is involved in DNA double-strand break repair.
Indicators
This gene is involved in both signaling and B-cell development.
Tests
A calcitonin test uses a sample of your blood to measure your levels of calcitonin, a hormone made in your thyroid gland by cells called “C cells.” Your thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in your neck, and C cells grow on the inside part of your thyroid (the medulla).
Indicators
This gene plays a role in calcium binding and protein folding.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in apoptotic regulation.
Indicators
This gene is involved in G-protein-coupled receptor signaling and calcium homeostasis.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in the regulation of mitotic events.
Indicators
This gene is involved in the regulation of the G1/S phase of the cell cycle.
Indicators
This gene is involved in cell cycle progression.
