【 摘 要 】

This case report presents a 38-year-old female who was scheduled for abdominal panniculectomy and tested positive for BRCA2 mutation through Geisinger MyCode®. She canceled her panniculectomy and elected to proceed with bilateral mastectomies, utilizing her abdominal tissue for deep inferior epigastric perforator flap reconstruction.
