The Penn II Risk Model-
What is the Penn II Model?

  • This model can be used to predict the pre-test probability, or prior probability, that a person has a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. In general, individuals with at least a 5-10% chance of having a mutation in either gene are considered good candidates for genetic testing.
    This model does not predict breast cancer risk. It focuses only on the chance that an individual has inherited a mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2.
