@htc929 Note that a genomic test is different from a genetic test.
> Biomarker (genomic) test: Looks for genes, proteins, and tumor markers that tell more about the prostate cancer. (There are many genomic tests - like the GPS test mentioned.)

> Genetic (germline) test: Tells you which genes you inherited from your parents. (like BRCA1/2, ATM, CHEK2, HOXB13, MSH2, etc).

You should get both types of tests.
