 8 not be limited to:
 9 (a) genetic mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes;
 10 (b) genetic mutations associated with Lynch syndrome;
 11 (c) rearrangement analysis of all coding exons associated with ovarian
 12 cancer; and
 13 (d) additional mutations if medically necessary and appropriate, as
 14 determined by the health care professional treating the individual.
 15 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
