Świadomość, możliwości i bariery w poradnictwie genetycznym w kierunku mutacji BRCA oferowanym Afroamerykankom i Latynoskom

Abstract

BRCA genetic mutation leads to an increased susceptibility to breast and / or ovarian cancer in the life cycle. Research suggests that African American women use genetic counseling for BRCA less often than White Women. The aim of the review of research work presented in the article is to describe opportunities and barriers present in genetic counseling offered to black women, African-Americans and Latinos. After verification, 16 studies conducted in the years 2012–2019 were subjected to analysis, in which African American, English and Non-English Latin American or mixed samples were tested with partial analysis carried out among African American and / or Latin American Women.
