The reporting of BRCA2 is driving me nuts. Everyone has the BRCA2 gene. The risk comes from pathogenic variations to the gene. BRCA2 is a good gene to screen on for family history for certain types of cancers, because germline variants are more common than somatic variants.
I think this reporter misunderstood that the gene always exists in every person and thought BRCA2 was a type of variation
