This interactive website is designed to provide you with individually tailored information about:

  • The BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes
  • Your chance of inheriting the BRCA mutation identified in your family
  • Your chances of developing different cancers
  • Genetic counseling and testing

Throughout the program glossary terms are highlighted in purple. Simply move your cursor over these terms for a definition.

At the end of this program you will have the option to schedule a brief telephone information session with a trained genetics research assistant to:

  • Answer any questions you may have
  • Coordinate genetic testing if you wish to proceed

This website contains general information. It is important that you seek advice from your health care providers regarding individual medical recommendations or for the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of medical conditions. Genetic counseling and testing can provide you with information about your chances of developing cancer.
