We’re evolving our germline testing services to better support how you and your practice care for patients. Contact a Myriad account executive to find out what’s new.
Treating pancreatic, prostate, ovarian, and breast cancer can be complex. Without all of the answers it can feel like you are operating in the dark. Somatic testing identifies most patients with actionable mutations, but it doesn’t identify all of them. Without germline testing, you’re not getting the full story.
Even if your patient is negative for a BRCA1/2 mutation that is found in their tumor, it is still possible that they have an inherited germline BRCA1/2 mutation. Somatic testing alone can have some limitations including unknown variants, limited tumor tissue, and missed large rearrangements.
Myriad Genetics with BRACAnalysis CDx® will process ALL tests for patients with a personal diagnosis of
We understand that you need your patients’ germline BRCA1/2 status quickly to minimize your patients’ anxiety while they wait for a result and to get them on treatment. BRACAnalysis CDx can report your patients’ germline BRCA1/2 status in less than two weeks after we receive the sample.
Some exceptions apply (e.g. government payers). For patients with Medicare who are currently or may become eligible for treatment with a PARP inhibitor, BRACAnalysis CDx with MyRisk is available
To request reflex testing for patients who test negative for BRCA1/2 mutations, simply check the box for Myriad Genetics MyRisk® Hereditary Cancer Test on the test request form. This will provide an analysis of additional germline cancer genes for patients who have been testing with BRACAnalysis CDx.

Intended use – PMA intended use statement for BRACAnalysis CDx
BRACAnalysis CDx® is an in vitro diagnostic device intended for the qualitative detection and classification of variants in the protein-coding regions and intron/exon boundaries of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes using genomic DNA obtained from whole blood specimens collected in EDTA. Single nucleotide variants and small insertions and deletions (indels) are identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Sanger sequencing. Large deletions and duplications in BRCA1 and BRCA2 are detected using multiplex PCR.
Results of the test are used as an aid in identifying patients who are or may become eligible for treatment with the targeted therapies listed in Table 1 in accordance with the most recently approved therapeutic product labeling.
Table 1: companion diagnostic indications
Detection of deleterious or suspected deleterious germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations by BRACAnalysis CDx test in ovarian cancer patients is also associated with enhanced progression-free survival (PFS) from Zejula® (niraparib) or Rubraca® (rucaparib) maintenance therapy in accordance with the most recently approved therapeutic product labeling.
