- BRCA1 and BRCA2 Inherited Gene Mutations in Men
Learn about genetic testing for men with breast cancer Risk of a second primary breast cancer People with a BRCA1 2 inherited gene mutation have an increased risk of a second primary breast cancer in the opposite (contralateral) breast This is a new breast cancer that develops after a first breast cancer

Genetic testing for male breast cancer A man diagnosed with breast cancer should consider genetic testing to determine if there is a mutation in a gene that can cause breast cancer It is important for a man to know if he has a breast cancer gene mutation because that mutation can be passed down to his children—male or female—increasing
- Breast Cancer Risk and Prevention: Genetic Testing
Inherited gene changes that can increase breast cancer risk BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations When it comes to breast cancer risk, the most important inherited gene changes are in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes Women (and men) with one of these gene changes are said to have Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) syndrome Women with a BRCA gene change have a greatly increased risk of breast

Explore the link between male breast cancer and genetics, delving deep into the role of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes Understand risks, inheritance patterns, and prevention strategies tailored for men Genetic Counseling and Testing Men should consider genetic counseling and testing for BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations if:
- Male breast cancer in a multi-gene panel testing cohort . . . - PubMed
Purpose: Genetic predisposition to male breast cancer (MBC) is not well understood The aim of this study was to better define the predisposition genes contributing to MBC and the utility of germline multi-gene panel testing (MGPT) for explaining the etiology of MBCs
- What men should know about genetic breast cancer
About 1 in 5 men with breast cancer have a close relative – male or female – with the disease These men may have a gene mutation, or defect, called BRCA1 or BRCA2, or simply referred to as BRCA Just like women, men who are at risk for breast cancer should undergo genetic counseling and genetic testing to determine if they have the disease
- BRCA Gene in Men: What it Means for Cancer Risk
You might think only women should worry about having a BRCA1 2 mutation After all, for nearly 30 years—since the discovery of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes—countless studies and news articles have chronicled the impact of the discovery on breast cancer, which affects women more than any other cancer But BRCA1 2 mutations raise cancer risk for men, too
