MyRisk is a genetic test offered by Myriad Genetics, a company that specializes in molecular diagnostic testing. This test is designed to assess an individual's risk of developing certain hereditary cancers based on their genetic makeup. The MyRisk Hereditary Cancer Screening Test analyzes multiple genes associated with an increased risk of various cancers, including breast, ovarian, colorectal, pancreatic, and others. The goal is to identify genetic mutations that may increase the likelihood of developing cancer. If you are considering taking the MyRisk test or have already taken it, it's important to discuss the results with a healthcare professional, such as a genetic counselor or a medical geneticist. They can help you interpret the results, understand your risk profile, and discuss potential preventive measures or screening options.
