Effect of Polygenic Risk Modifiers on Decisions of BRCA1/2 Mutation Carriers at Risk for Prostate Cancer
Summary
The purpose of this study is to learn how people with BRCA1/2 mutations respond to genetic risk modifier testing. The researchers will learn more about how people make choices about their health care, including about methods to screen for prostate cancer. Researchers are also doing this study to learn about how the genetic risk modifier test affects people's thoughts and feelings.
