Previving: How Unaffected Women with a Mutation Navigate Previvor Identity.

Receiving a positive result for a / () mutation - indicating a high lifetime risk to develop hereditary breast and ovarian cancer - can significantly alter a woman's identity. positive women who have not been diagnosed with cancer may be labeled "previvors," which distinguishes those at-risk for developing cancer, but have not had cancer. Using semi-structured interviews ( = 25), this study explored how unaffected -positive women navigate the previvor identity.

What People Want to Know About Their Genes: A Critical Review of the Literature on Large-Scale Genome Sequencing Studies.

From a public health perspective, the "All of Us" study provides an opportunity to isolate targeted and cost-effective prevention and early-detection strategies. Identifying motivations for participation in large-scale genomic sequencing (LSGS) studies, and motivations and preferences to receive results will help determine effective strategies for "All of Us" study implementation. This paper offers a critical review of the literature regarding LSGS for adult onset hereditary conditions where results could indicate an increased risk to develop disease.
