Default BRCA1 and BRCA2 testing question.

Where are some places in the area that do the brca1 and brca2 testing? TIA

Sounds like a good question for a neurologists office. I bet they would know.

Mine was done at the Moffitt Center in Tampa. It's actually the closest part of Tampa to TV, right in between I-75 and I-275. In other words, you don't go anywhere near downtown, so it's a pretty easy ride.

I had my test done at Shands. In the event you are being tested based on a relative's positive test you should take those results with you. The cost is far less if they have the specific gene abnormality they are looking for. By the way it is your gynecologist that can help with the arrangements.there is only one lab in the country at this time doing the test but that may soon change (Myriad)
