MCS, In 2006 Myriad added what is known as the BART panel and then the larger rearrangement panel. If you tested prior to a certain date, they can retest looking at these other areas. This all came about as a result of when Dr Mary Claire King in Seattle ( one of the mutation "founding mothers" so to speak) found mutations that Myriad was missing .she took on families where there was obviously something genetic and feverishly worked to find their answers...

Warmly,Marcia
