Screening For Common Mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 Genes: Tunisian Families with Breast and/or Ovarian Cancer Show Interest in Genetic Testing

John Dalton

Genetic testing for mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes has gained significant attention in the field of cancer research, particularly in relation to breast and ovarian cancers. This study focuses on Tunisian families affected by breast and/or ovarian cancer, investigating their interest in undergoing genetic screening for common mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. The objective is to assess the awareness and willingness of Tunisian families to participate in genetic testing and to identify potential barriers to testing. The study utilizes a questionnairebased survey to gather data from participants, including demographic information, family history of cancer, knowledge about genetic testing, and attitudes towards genetic screening. The results provide insights into the level of interest and motivation for genetic testing among Tunisian families affected by breast and/or ovarian cancer, highlighting the importance of genetic counseling and public awareness campaigns to promote informed decision-making regarding genetic testing.
