   Hi. I have just started to use Progeny 7 and I realize that it has an export modek to BRCAPRO. I use CancerGene 5 but I can not find the brca.exe it refers to.
   I would appreciate your help.
   Best regards,
   Manuel

   Thank you for your post Manuel! CancerGene does include the algorithm for calculating the risk calculation but it does not include a separate exe for the algorithm. The export was designed for the stand alone exe of BRCAPRO. Our users have notified us that CancerGene uses an updated algorithm in comparison to the stand alone exe. For that reason, we do not recommend exporting the data directly to the old exe. We are considering different options for interfacing/exporting the data directly to CancerGene in the future.

   Lianne -

   Are there any plans on having a working risk tool in version 8?

   Direct interfacing with CancerGene is something we are hoping to implement in Progeny 8, but at this point it is unlikely that it will be in the initial release. We will be sure to highlight that feature when its release date is a bit more concrete.

   Yes. Progeny8 links directly to the BRCAPRO BayesMendel web service. It calculates the lifetime probabilities for breast and ovarian cancer as well as the family member probabilities for carrier, BRCA1, BRCA2, and both.

   The probabilities are inserted both into the database and as a text annotation on the pedigree.

   This is a new feature in version 8.
