- Individuals who have a family member with a BRCA mutation who have not been tested
- Individuals who received radiation to the chest between the ages of 10 to 30 years
- Individuals with a history of Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Cowden syndrome, or Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba syndrome or those who have a first-degree relative with one of these syndromes
