Jan's sister and mother have both had breast cancer. she is wondering if she should undergo genetic testing to check for a mutation of the brca1 gene. a mutation in the brca1 gene is commonly associated with, but not guaranteed to cause, breast cancer. the presence of a mutation increases a patient's chances of getting breast cancer to about 85 percent, compared to a 13 percent risk in the general population. costs may vary, but most labs charge patients or their insurance companies less than $3,000 to sequence the brca1 to look for mutations. do you think that jan should undergo genetic sequencing? explain your answer.
