Everybody has a BRCA gene but mutations in these genes can increase a person’s risk of developing certain cancers. The increased risk related to Jewish ancestry is already included in professional guidelines for assessing familial risk of breast cancer. People in Wales with Jewish ancestry who have an increased risk (such as a first or second degree relative with a diagnosis of breast cancer) of developing cancers associated with a BRCA gene mutation can already seek genetic testing and counselling from the All-Wales Medical Genomics Service by contacting their GP.
