- Abstract
The article discusses a study on how cancer genetic counselors counsel patients on their reproductive risks when a pathogenic variant is identified on a multi-gene cancer panel in a gene that may have reproductive implications. Highlights include the frequency of pre-test counseling for carrier cancer risk, delivery of secondary findings related to whole exome and genome sequencing, and conditions counseled by participants who responded to questions on post-test counseling practices.
