Over the past two decades (1998–2020), the National Health Laboratory Service’s Human Genetics Laboratory in central South Africa screened more than 2,974 breast and/or ovarian cancer patients for abnormalities characteristic of the widely known familial breast cancer genes, Breast Cancer gene 1 (BRCA1) and Breast Cancer gene 2 (BRCA2). This evidence concerns the gene BRCA2 and ovarian carcinoma.
