Your DNA is not tested for hereditary breast cancer as part of Mayo Clinic GeneGuide™. If the family history information you reported in the Hereditary Breast Cancer Assessment tool showed you have an increased risk of carrying a hereditary gene variant for breast and ovarian cancer, an appointment with a genetic counselor is an important next step. A genetic counselor can discuss your family history as well as the benefits and limitations of this type of genetic testing.
