Community attitudes towards a Jewish community BRCA1/2 testing program.

Familial cancer - 1 Jan 2017

About 2.5 % of the Ashkenazi-Jewish population carry one of three "founder" mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 (BRCA1/2). Currently, testing is offered to Jewish people with a personal and/or family history of breast and/or ovarian cancer; however less than half of BRCA1/2 carriers within the Jewish population are aware of their family history. Population-based testing in other countries has shown to greatly increase...
