| Due to the complexity of information surrounding BRCA1/2 counseling and testing and its time consuming nature, efforts to facilitate the genetic counseling and education process are needed. This project aims to develop a flip book, CD-ROM, and website for use by genetics counselors with their patients covering the topics: basic genetics, cancer and genetics, genes associated with breast cancer, genetics testing, and managing cancer risk. |
