Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: This study explores communication within families of clinically significant genetics research results, after the death of the patient participant. BRCA2 mutations were found in several men after their death from prostate cancer. Spouses were given the results in a genetic counselling session and asked to inform relatives. METHODS: Cross-sectional, qualitative exploratory study. Interviews with 13...
