Key Points

This research aims to identify discrepancies between the reproductive decision-making preferences of BRCA mutation carriers and the knowledge of healthcare providers.
Assess attitudes of BRCA mutation carriers toward genetic testing options
Evaluate knowledge and practices of healthcare professionals regarding BRCA-related reproduction
Analyze the differences in reproductive preferences and practices
BRCA carriers prefer more options for reproductive testing than currently offered
Healthcare professionals are often unaware of patient preferences
There is a significant need for enhanced education and guidelines for prenatal counseling

Implication

Findings reveal gaps in reproductive preferences versus practices in carriers of BRCA mutations, suggesting a need for improved education.

Abstract

The findings reveal a discrepancy between reproductive preferences of BRCA mutation carriers and current practices and knowledge among healthcare professionals. Bridging this gap will require educational efforts, development of guidelines, and a multidisciplinary approach to reproductive counseling in the context of hereditary cancer risk.
