文摘

Hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC) is an inherited condition associated with mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 (BRCA) genes. Identification of individuals with HBOC requires that primary care providers understand the genetic principles required to appropriately collect family history and refer individuals for genetic evaluation. A survey was developed and administered to primary care providers in Georgia to assess their existing knowledge of HBOC and direct targeted educational efforts.
