NHS testing programme for adults aged 18 and over with Jewish ancestry. It offers a free test to look for the presence of faults on genes called BRCA1 and BRCA2. Everyone has these genes, but those with a Jewish background are more likely to carry faults on them which, in turn, is linked to a higher risk of certain cancers (breast, ovarian, prostate and pancreatic). See website for more information.
