BRCA1/2- mutationcarriers

This study is part of the collection Scania Metadatabase for Epidemiology (SME)

Creator/Principal investigator(s):

Håkan Olsson - Lund University, Faculty of Medicine, The Division of Oncology and Pathology

Description:

The cohort, which is part of an international collaboration with IBCCS and Cimba, is covering all (both men and women) who have undergone mutation testing for BRCA1 or 2 in the Southern health region since 1993. It is the largest registry of hereditary cancer in Sweden with 1200 cases. Most individuals have filled in a questionnaire concerning diet, body weight and body measurements, family history, BRCA1/2 status, reproduction and use of oral contraceptives. Blood samples are collected from all participants.
