Genetic Counseling for Families With Inherited Susceptibility to Breast and Ovarian Cancer
Abstract
Efforts are under way to isolate a gene (BRCA1) on chromosome 17q12-21. Mutations in this gene predispose women to breast and ovarian cancer. Women with germline mutations in BRCA1 are estimated to have an 85% lifetime risk of developing breast cancer and an increased but as yet undetermined risk of ovarian cancer. It is estimated that one in 200 to 400 American women may be carriers of BRCA1 mutations. We have identified several families that show linkage between breast and/or ovarian cancer and genetic markers that flank BRCA1. It is now possible, within these linked families, to prospectively identify family members likely to be carrying BRCA1 mutations. Because of profound and immediate clinical ramifications, we offered to provide this information to one such extended family. To provide information to this family, we developed a protocol to address the many issues that arise in the delivery of these services. Although testing for BRCA1 mutation carriers is currently limited to very rare families being analyzed for research purposes, this experience presages the complexities of the much larger scale availability of population screening for BRCA1 mutations, which is likely to become a reality in the next few years.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
