Approximately, 7 % of all breast cancers (BC) and 11–15 ovarian (OC) are associated with inherited predisposition, mainly related to germline mutations in high penetrance BRCA1/2 genes. Clinical criteria for genetic testing based on personal family history estimate a minimum 10 detection rate. Selection evolving according new advances this field the clinical utility testing. Multiplex panel carries its own challenges we recommend inclusion genes utility. We screening annual mammography from...

Purpose There is a growing demand for BRCA1/ 2 mutation ( BRCAm) testing in patients with ovarian cancer; however, the limited number of genetic counselors presents potential barrier. To facilitate more widespread BRCAm cancer, pretest counseling by oncology team could shorten turnaround times and ease pressure on counselors. Patients Methods The prospective, observational Evaluating Streamlined Onco-genetic BRCA Testing Counseling Model Among With Ovarian Cancer (ENGAGE) study evaluated...

Abstract Purpose: It is not clear that the published estimates of breast and ovarian cancer penetrances mutations in BRCA1 BRCA2 can be used genetic counseling countries such as Spain, where incidence general population considerably lower, prevalence seems to higher, a distinct spectrum recurrent exists for both genes. We aimed estimate these women attending units Spain. Experimental Design: collected phenotype genotype data on 155 164 mutation carrier families from 12 centers across...

Abstract Background Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant-inherited colorectal cancer syndrome, caused by germline mutations in the APC gene. Recently, biallelic MUTYH have also been identified patients with multiple adenomas and -negative FAP. The aim of this work therefore to determine frequency among FAP families from two Spanish populations. Methods Eighty-two unrelated classical or attenuated were screened for mutations. analysis was then conducted those 9...

Genetic testing for breast cancer predisposition has been available in the clinical practice more than a decade. How result of genetic affects psychological well-being individuals is an under-researched area many populations. Follow-up analysis via HADS scale was performed 364 at 3 months and 1 year after disclosure BRCA1/2 result. We analyzed potential predictors pathological anxiety variables associated to variation scores over time. At pre-test only 16% 4% presented symptoms depression,...
