| Course frequency | Once only |
| Lecturers | Maria Katapodi (maria.katapodi@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | Pathogenic variants associated with hereditary breast/ovarian cancer and Lynch syndrome confer significant risk for early-onset cancer. These pathogenic variants are autosomal dominant, meaning there is 50% chance with each pregnancy that the offspring will inherit the increased cancer predisposition. Knowing the risk for one's children is the most commonly mentioned reason for genetic testing. However, little is known about parental disclosure of genetic testing results to underage children (<18 years old) and specific parental concerns related to children's responses. |
| Learning objectives | The student(s) will work with data collected from the CASCADE cohort, an ongoing Swiss family-based cohort. The students will analyze data related to the above topic aiming towards a peer-reviewed publication. |
| Bibliography | TBA. |
