To get tested for BRCA gene free you can apply for a Free Genetic Test Kit.

Free Genetic Test Kits to test for the BRCA gene are available through specialized programs that also target rare and undiagnosed diseases, hereditary cancer risks and specific immune deficiencies.

Top options available to get a Free Genetic Test Kit are through Probably Genetic for rare diseases, Color Health Through OCRA for hereditary cancer and Invitae for immunology.

Probably Genetic, focuses on rare diseases, developmental disorders and epilepsy and requires completing an in depth health survey with kits being sent to people that are eligible.

OCRA or Ovarian Cancer Research offers free, at home testing, via color health for BRCA mutations, Lynch Syndrome and other hereditary cancers, most particularly for those that have a family history or personal diagnoses.

And the Invitae Unlock Immunology program provides no charge testing for conditions like bone marrow failure, autoimmune cytopenia and autoinflammatory cytopenia.

And the Immune Deficiency Foundation has sponsored, no charge testing for APDS or WHIM syndromes.

To apply for the Free Genetic Testing kits complete an assessment through the specific program website like Probably Genetic, OCRA, etc and fill otu the health and symptom questionnaire.

The program will then review your profile to determine if you happen to meet the criteria for a free test.

And once you get the kit, a saliva or DNA collection kit will arrive and often with prepaid return shipping.

You then often send off the saliva or DNA for testing and they return the results to you.
