Understanding challenges in familial communication of cancer risk has informed genetic
service delivery. Parent-child interactions have received considerable attention, but few …

Background It has become increasingly common to consider BRCA mutation status when
determining optimal cancer risk management and treatment options in order to improve …

Cascade genetic screening is a methodology for identifying and testing close blood relatives
of individuals at increased risk for heritable conditions and follows a sequential process …

Previous studies examining communication of BRCA1/2 results with relatives and family
uptake of BRCA1/2 testing have sampled from predominantly white, high SES cohorts …

Purpose Recommendations for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers to disseminate
information to at-risk relatives pose significant challenges. This study aimed to quantify …

Background: Predictive genetic testing has high impact on cancer prevention for BRCA
carriers and passing this information in BRCA families is important. Mostly, this is proband …

Objective The objectives of this study are to determine (i) what daughters, ages 18–24 years,
of BRCA1/2 mutation carriers understand about their 50% chance of carrying a BRCA1/2 …

Through an analysis of an online survey of women who tested positive for the BRCA genetic
mutation for breast cancer, this research uses a social constructionist and feminist …

Advances in genetic diagnostics lead to more patients being diagnosed with hereditary
conditions. These findings are often relevant to patients' relatives. For example, the success …

In recent years, with both the development of next‐generation sequencing approaches and
