Well sure, the brca1, 2 genes come to mind
--what is her2? GNE right? Sorry I am not
familiar with all these known cancer genes,
maybe somebody could key in the list or provide
an url.

I quickly scanned down the list in the mygn
thread and see that maybe these tests are
still a bit pricy--profitable too. $2500
for brca1/2 test?

and then there is the probability and history
to be considered

By the way, I did catch that 20/20 or whatever the newsmag
was that had the cancer stories a couple weeks ago. Did
anybody get anything out of it, was mainly an emotional
rather than scientific story, to be expected, but I did
catch that bit about Interleukin no. ?? as a last resort
to treat--cant remember any details tho.

Here are the mygn genes
BRCA1, BRCA2, CHD1, MMAC1, MMSC1, MTS1, MTS2, MTS3
