if Rebecca decides she does not want genetic testing?
If
Rebecca elects not to undergo genetic testing she is
still considered high risk for breast and ovarian cancer
and may wish to pursue the screening and surveillance
recommended for women at high risk for breast and ovarian
cancer (discussed under Test
Results).
ACMG
Guidelines
The American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) has
published recommended guidelines for BRCA1 and
