BRCA genetic testing providers

[Rachiebabe]

I have signed up to take part in the NHS Jewish-BRCA screening programme nhsjewishbrcaprogramme.org.uk/ but I will not get the test or the results before the first round of my IVF starts next month. I only have 1 Jewish grandparent so my risks are low but not as low as non-Jewish person. My grandparent was a Holocaust survivor therefore 1) that side of my family is small and 2) we don't know what health conditions future generations may have developed.

My IVF cycle is being funded by the NHS, but at clinic that works with both private and NHS funded patients and genetic testing of embryos is offered privately. Speaking to the embryologist at my clinic he would advise not to pay for genetic testing of any embryos as I don't know if I carry the BRCA gene which makes sense. My team instead suggest I get privately tested for the gene and if I am positive then we could include genetic testing in this cycle.

Can any recommend a private clinic/doctor for BRCA genetic testing in London?
