Funded Activity Summary

Assessing a woman’s breast cancer risk by profiling polygenic risk represents a new approach in the familial cancer setting. My study is part of a program of research that aims to facilitate translation of polygenic risk information into clinical practice. For this, I will invite 400 women to receive their personal polygenic result and i) assess interest in receiving this result; ii) assess psychological and behavioural outcomes of receiving or not receiving their personal polygenic risk result
