What are the Reproductive Options for BRCA2 Carriers?
Women with BRCA2 mutations may have concerns regarding passing the mutation to their offspring. Options include:
Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD): Used in conjunction with IVF, PGD can screen embryos for BRCA2 mutations before implantation. Prenatal Testing: Techniques like amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling can detect BRCA2 mutations in a developing fetus.
