Study of people with BRCA1/BRCA2 cancer gene changes
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study follows people who carry a harmful BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation, whether or not they currently have breast or ovarian cancer. The goal is to better understand cancer risk over time and how being a carrier may affect screening and care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study follows women who carry BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene variants (or a gene variant of unclear meaning) to learn about their risks over time. It may help improve how genetic information is used to guide future care.
This study creates a platform for women who carry a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation to be followed over time. It aims to better understand and manage cancer risks associated with these mutations.
This is an observational study that looks at how different cancer prevention approaches affect women with harmful (deleterious) BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations. It may help improve future prevention and follow-up plans for women at higher inherited risk.
This study asks women to complete surveys after learning their genetic risk results for certain breast cancer–related gene changes. It helps researchers understand how people respond and what they think or feel after getting these results.
This study looks at how men with a BRCA1/2 gene change make decisions about their health and prostate cancer risk. Participants will fill out surveys to help researchers understand these choices.
This study looks at fertility in women who carry a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation. It aims to understand how these mutations might affect a woman's ability to have children by comparing them to family members without the mutation.
