Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate racial disparities in cascade testing rates for genetic predisposition to cancer among at-risk relatives of probands with germline variants.
- It found that significantly fewer Black probands had their at-risk relatives undergo testing compared to White probands, both before and after a policy change that made testing available at no cost.
- The disparity in testing rates persisted despite the elimination of testing fees, suggesting that other barriers to testing need to be addressed to improve access and benefits for all populations.
