Hamilton Rebekah

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Women who carry a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation face a risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer at an earlier age than women without such a mutation. Relatively little is known about the psychosocial consequences-especially regarding marriage and childbearing-in young women who test positive for one of these mutations. METHODS: In 2006, participants were recruited from Web sites for women with breast...
