Comparison of proactive and usual approaches to offering predictive testing for BRCA1/2 mutations in unaffected relatives.

Abstract excerpt

There have been few studies addressing uptake of predictive testing for BRCA1/2, only one comparing a proactive with usual family networking approach to dissemination. We report uptake of predictive genetic testing after directly offering BRCA1 presymptomatic genetic testing to 100 individuals in two generations of 5 large BRCA1 families compared with service testing of 196 families since that time. Uptake was...
