Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Despite guidelines discouraging pediatric genetic testing for adult-onset hereditary cancer risk, direct-to-consumer (DTC) companies make them available to children's parents. This study examined the perspectives of high-risk parents toward such testing. METHODS: Interviews were conducted with N = 30 parents (children ages 10-21) carrying pathogenic variants in cancer-causing genes available for...
