Although further research in more diverse groups of patients is warranted, the study findings "pave the way for refining genetic testing strategies and personalized treatment approaches inprostate cancer," they conclude.

that testing forBRCA1/2PVs in individuals with breast cancer may in some instances have been influenced by the presence of PCa cases in the family. If so, failing to adjust for the PCa events that determined the ascertainment would bias the resulting PCa RRs away from the null. One study ...
Implicit influences on men’s testing decisions such as familial obligations are examined. The extent to which other family members—partners and adult children—were involved in testing decisions is also described. It is demonstrated that mothers of potential mutation carriers not only perceive ...
The cancer risk estimates may be subject to some selection bias if the decision to participate in the study or opt for testing was related to factors that are associated with disease risk. It was not possible to contrast the unaffected study participants to all other unaffected family members ...
Currently, in most countries clinicalBRCA1/2testing is offered after genetic counseling by clinical cancer geneticist (oncogeneticist) when mutation finding probability exceeds 10%, or even 20% (as in the UK) [18]. Various selection criteria, based on family history, age at onset and tumors cl...
In the ten years since the discovery of BRCA1 and BRCA2, genetic testing for breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility has become integrated into the practice of clinical oncology. Attempts to identify a third breast cancer susceptibility locus (BRCA3) have so far been unsuccessful. This is probab...
The genes of nearly 50,000 people in the UK Biobank had undergone both SNP testing and next generation sequencing, a DNA test with high “accuracy for these rare variants,” Wright said. “This large dataset allowed us to systematically investigate the performance of SNP chips across millions ...
