Hi,
"Genetic testing, including testing for BRCAI and BRCA2, should be regarded as
halakhically mandated in circumstances in which medical science believes that
the results are likely to affect treatment in a manner that will enhance
longevity anticipation or well-being. Certainly, a person identified as being
at risk for a specific disease is obligated to pursue all available measures in
order to ward off the disease or to diagnose its presence while the disease is
yet in an incipient stage and still amenable to cure."
(Rabbi J. David Bleich, Genetic Screening, Tradition 34:1 (2000) pg. 77)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
