Hello all

At a recent family reunion, a number of female cousins (including me)
discovered that we should be tested for the BRCA1<?> gene for breast
cancer.

I'm doing some research on the web on this gene and the genetic
testing process.

Does anyone have a realible site that I can read and forward along to
my family members so we are all on the same page?

thanks!

Betty Lou
