ABSTRACT: Predictive testing for BRCA1 and 2 mutations: a male contribution Background: Management strategies for women carrying BRCA1 and 2 mutations are becoming clearer and predictive testing for a known family mutation is commonly undertaken. Implications for men are not as clear and they participate less frequently. Conclusions: Complex themes associated with genetic testing are confirmed and the spectrum extended. Men appear to understand the importance of participating in this process. Methods of avoiding adverse reactions merit further study along with other aspects of the process.
