Article Synopsis
- The rise of hereditary cancer genetic testing panels has changed how genetic counseling is conducted, as certain gene mutations present both cancer and reproductive risks for autosomal recessive conditions.
- A survey of 189 cancer genetic counselors revealed that over half discussed these reproductive risks with patients, particularly when they had positive test results and were of childbearing age.
- Responses indicated inconsistencies in when and how reproductive risks are addressed, highlighting the need for established professional guidelines to streamline these discussions.
