Bladder Cancer
Most cases of cancer are sporadic and not inherited. Families in which there are multiple affected, close members with the same cancer or associated cancers are more likely to have a stronger genetic component.
Clinical genetic testing for predisposition to bladder cancer is for medical, clinical purposes.
This testing may be available through offline genetic testing providers if indicated by further evaluation and consultation with a trained genetic professional. Use the zip code search box to find a trained genetic professional in your area.
Bladder Cancer (as part of Whole Genome Scan)
Informational genetic testing for susceptibility to bladder cancer may also be available as part of a whole genome scan.
Whole genome scanning looks for SNPs that are present throughout the entire genome that have been linked to susceptibility to a number of different health conditions and physical traits. A SNP is a genetic change in which one "letter" of DNA differs from the usual "letter" at that point in the DNA sequence. The number of conditions, traits, and SNPs tested for varies by provider.
Whole genome scanning is for informational purposes only and is not a medical (clinical) genetic test.
This testing is available online through the Direct to Consumer Genetic Testing providers listed below. A consultation with a trained genetic professional may be useful.
