Although professional guidelines recommend against testing minors for adult-onset genetic conditions, the genetic testing of minors for BRCA1/2 alterations has been debated in the literature. To better understand the opinions of BRCA mutation carriers regarding the genetic testing of minors and the cognitive and affective processes underlying these opinions, we interviewed BRCA mutation carriers and their adult...
