A woman whose sister tested + for a specific mutation in the BRCA1 gene, which
increases the risk of breath and ovarian cancer, is found not th have mutation but
does have a mutation of unknown significance near the known mutation site. How
should this woman be counseled? - CORRECT ANSWER-She should be informed
that she does not have the specific mutation but that because another mutation is
present she should be vigilant about screening.
