I think you have it right Brian.

BRCA2 can be found in the hereditary genetic test, In that case, it would be in the somatic genetic test as well. Both of them are genetic tests.

People who do not have BRCA2 in their hereditary test, can have it in their somatic test. Over at Ancan.org we’ve had a few people over the years that have had this occur.

Jeff- do they use biopsy cells to do somatic genetic testing ?
