Cascade screening in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers.

Irish medical journal - 1 May 2008

Abstract excerpt

Genetic counselling for families with BRCA1 & 2 has been available in Ireland since 1998. We describe the follow-on cascade from the initial 29 index cases that tested positive for either gene. 28 of the index cases were female and 1 was male. Their combined sibship and offspring totalled 125 and 129 respectively. Of the 125 siblings, 21/72 (29%) females and 10/53 (19%) males came forward for counselling and all...
