Recent advances in molecular genetics have led to predictive genetic tests that can identify individuals at risk for certain hereditary cancers, such as the genetic mutations that have been identified for breast cancer (BRCA1/2, PALB2). BRCA1/2 mutation testing is one the most established and widely used of these predictive genetic tests. As the use of these tests moves into mainstream clinical practice, allied health professionals will have need to understand the clinical aspects of genetic counseling as well as the psychosocial needs of women considering and or under-going counseling and testing. This course provides an overview of the genetic counseling process, types of test results, risk management strategies, and psychosocial needs of women during the genetic counseling and testing process.
