Genetic uptake in BRCA-mutation families is related to emotional and behavioral communication characteristics of index patients.

Familial cancer - 1 Jan 2005

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Carriers of a hereditary mutation in BRCA are at high risk for breast and ovarian cancer. The first person from a family known to carry the mutation, the index person, has to share genetic information with relatives. This study is aimed at determining the number of relatives tested for a BRCA mutation, and the exploration of facilitating and debilitating factors in the transmission of genetic...
