Invitae Announces New Education Program to Accelerate the Use of Family History and Increase Awareness of Genetic Testing
- New survey shows that while celebrity stories drive awareness of cancer and genetics, more engagement is needed among patients, their families and their clinicians - A new survey released today shows 73 percent of Americans are aware of genetic testing for hereditary cancers – a significant increase over just a few years ago. Previous research found that in 2010 less than half of the Americans surveyed said they were aware of genetic testing. Dubbed the “Angelina Jolie Effect,” the current data highlight the far-reaching impact of Angelina Jolie’s public discussion of genetic testing for hereditary cancer. However, despite this heightened awareness of genetic testing, there remains confusion about how cancer is inherited, a lack of knowledge of family health history, and a strong desire for clinical guidance when pursuing genetic testing. Indeed, the vast majority of those surveyed (80%) said they would want their personal physician or a genetic counselor to provide access to

Invitae Corporation (NYSE: NVTA) , a genetic information company, and its collaborators announced the publication of new data describing the clinical actionability of multi-gene testing for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) risk in JAMA Oncology . The study was a collaboration among Massachusetts General Hospital , Harvard Medical School , Stanford University , Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Invitae . In this paper, more than 1,000 patients were tested with multi-gene panels, and the clinical actions that would be considered were reviewed for all 63 patients testing positive for cancer genes other than BRCA1 or BRCA2. For more than half of these patients, the genetic test would suggest a change in care over and above any recommendations based on the patient’s personal and family history alone. For these patients’ family members, testing would be warranted, as over 70% would have a change in care considered if also found to be mutation positive. “Multi-gene panel
