Abstract excerpt

In anticipation of the identification of the BRCA1 gene, we studied the interest in and anticipated reaction to DNA testing for mutations in this gene in members of high-risk families. We surveyed 91 female and 49 male subjects using a structured interview by study nurses. All subjects were members of inherited breast-ovarian cancer families participating in a genetic linkage study at the National Cancer...
