Uncertainty in BRCA1 cancer susceptibility testing.

American journal of medical genetics. Part C, Seminars in medical genetics - 15 Nov 2006

Abstract excerpt

This study investigated uncertainty in individuals undergoing genetic counseling/testing for breast/ovarian cancer susceptibility. Sixty-three individuals from a single kindred with a known BRCA1 mutation rated uncertainty about 12 items on a five-point Likert scale before and 1 month after genetic counseling/testing. Factor analysis identified a five-item total uncertainty scale that was sensitive to changes...
