Report from the first year of the NHS Jewish BRCA testing programme. Over 25000 people with Jewish ancestry have now requested BRCA1/BRCA2 testing and over 200 BRCA carriers have been identified. 🧬

This is important and wonderful work. If you’ve got a Jewish grandparent (or four!) you might want to have a Quick Look…

Tens of thousands of people with Jewish ancestry will receive genetic testing for cancer through a new programme announced today.

The tests are available to people who are more likely to carry a genetic fault that can increase the risk of certain cancers. https://t.co/SAjTZ0luNn

[Target Ovarian Cancer @TargetOvarian]

@NHSEngland’s new BRCA gene testing programme to identify cancer risk in those with Jewish ancestry could identify more people carrying the gene variation. This means they can seek early access to surveillance and prevention services & could result in more lives saved.
Info ⬇️

[The Eve Appeal @eveappeal]

🗞️From today all people with Jewish ancestry will be able to get BRCA testing. This is the first community wide genetic testing programme and is a huge step forward in enabling more people to know their cancer risk and take measures to prevent cancer!

Jews don’t count.

[Daniel Sugarman @Daniel_Sugarman]

Golders Green this morning. The heart of the Jewish community in North West London. A 5 minute walk from where I grew up.

This is not & never has been about Palestine. This is about trying to make British Jews feel unwelcome and threatened where they live.

We need your support.

[Professor Dame Sue Hill @CSOSue]

This is excellent news for patients living with prostate and breast cancer linked to changes in their BRCA genes. This shows how genomics is transforming cancer care by identifying key genomic changes that new treatments can target. @NHSgms
