Alaska,
when in doubt call their consumer # and or your genetics counselor.
I have not had my status change as I was BRCA- (2X) however that was before they came out with another rearrangement panel 2 years ago. From my understanding it is unlikely given my Jewish ancestry there would be a mutation in the this newer panel.
I have bben told by one of the worlds leading cancer genetics experts that my familial cluster is most likely "hereditary" they just haven't identified the mutation..yet.
