Description:
In August 2002, Myriad launched an enhancement to the BRACAnalysis test to detect five common large rearrangements. The BRACAnalysis Rearrangement Test, or BART, launched in August 2006, is designed to detect large rearrangements beyond these five. For patients who meet the defined clinical criteria, BART will automatically be performed concurrently with the sequence analysis of Comprehensive BRACAnalysis®.

Punnett Squares for Autosomal Recessive Conditions
Description:

Punnett Squares for Autosomal Dominant Conditions
Description:
Punnett squares are often used to predict reproductive outcomes for parents with an increased risk for having children with genetic disease. Along the top of the square are 2 egg cells from the mother. In each egg cell is 1 member of a homologous chromosome pair. The pair has previously separated from one another during meiosis. Along the left side of the square are 2 sperm cells from the father. In each sperm cell is 1 member of a homologous chromosome pair that also separated during meiosis.
Below are sample Punnett squares for autosomal dominant conditions. The disease-causing mutation is denoted by the capital letter A. The normal gene is denoted by the lower case letter a.
