Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: The identification of a BRCA1 or BRCA2 genetic mutation can provide important health information to individuals who receive this result, but it can also provide crucial cancer risk information to family members. Most of the research on communication of genetic test results has focused on first degree relatives. The purpose of this retrospective study was to examine the process of communicating a positive...
