increased risk for female and male breast cancer, ovarian cancer (including fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancers), and to a lesser extent other cancers such as prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and melanoma primarily in individuals with a <i>BRCA2</i> pathogenic variant. The risk of developing an associated cancer varies depending on whether HBOC is caused by a <i>BRCA1</i> or <i>BRCA2</i> pathogenic variant<i>.</i></p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Diagnosis/testing.</h4><p>The diagnosis of <i>BRCA1</i>- and <i>BRCA2</i>-associated HBOC is established in a proband by identification of a heterozygous germline pathogenic variant in <i>BRCA1</i> or <i>BRCA2</i> on molecular genetic testing.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Management.</h4><p><i>Treatment of manifestations:</i> Treatment of breast cancer per oncologist with consideration of bilateral mastectomy as a primary surgical treatment of breast cancer because of elevated rate of ipsilateral and contralateral breast cancer; PARP inhibitors may be considered in <i>BRCA1-</i> and <i>BRCA2</i>-related tumors. Melanoma treatment per dermatologist and oncologist.</p><p><i>Prevention of primary manifestations:</i> Prophylactic bilateral mastectomy, prophylactic oophorectomy, and chemoprevention (e.g., tamoxifen) have been used for breast cancer prevention, but have not been assessed by randomized trials in high-risk women. Prophylactic salpingectomy followed by delayed oophorectomy or salpingo-oophorectomy for ovarian cancer prevention.</p><p><i>Surveillance:</i> Breast cancer screening in women relies on a combination of monthly breast self-examination, annual or semiannual clinical breast examination, annual mammography, and breast MRI. Annual transvaginal ultrasound and serum CA-125 concentration beginning at age 35 years may be considered for ovarian cancer screening. However, this screening has not been effective in detecting early-stage ovarian cancer, either in high-risk or average-risk women. For men, breast cancer screening includes breast self-examination education and training and annual clinical breast examination beginning at age 35. Annual serum prostate-specific antigen and digital rectal exam screening should begin at age 45. Screening for melanoma should be individualized based on the family history. Screening of asymptomatic individuals for pancreatic cancer is not generally recommended.</p><p><i>Evaluation of relatives at risk:</i> Once a cancer-predisposing <i>BRCA1</i> or <i>BRCA2</i> germline pathogenic variant has been identified in a family, testing of at-risk relatives can identify those family members who also have the familial pathogenic variant and thus need increased surveillance and specific treatments when a cancer is identified.</p></div><div><h4 class="inline">Genetic counseling.</h4><p><i>BRCA1-</i> and <i>BRCA2-</i>associated HBOC is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. The vast majority of individuals with a <i>BRCA1</i> or <i>BRCA2</i> pathogenic variant inherited it from a parent. However, because the penetrance of breast, ovarian, and other cancers associated with pathogenic variants in <i>BRCA1</i> and <i>BRCA2</i> is less than 100%, not all individuals with a <i>BRCA1</i> or <i>BRCA2</i> pathogenic variant have a parent affected with cancer. The offspring of an individual with a <i>BRCA1</i> or <i>BRCA2</i> germline pathogenic variant have a 50% chance of inheriting the pathogenic variant. Once a cancer-predisposing <i>BRCA1</i> or <i>BRCA2</i> germline variant has been identified in a family, prenatal and preimplantation genetic testing are possible.</p></div></div><div id="brca1.Diagnosis"><h2 id="_brca1_Diagnosis_">Diagnosis</h2><div id="brca1.Suggestive_Findings"><h3>Suggestive Findings</h3><p><i>BRCA1-</i> and <i>BRCA2</i>-associated hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) <b>should be suspected</b> in individuals with a personal or family history (first-, second-, or third-degree relative in either lineage) of any of the following:</p><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Breast cancer diagnosed at or before age 50 years</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Ovarian cancer</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Multiple (i.e., &#x0003e;1) primary breast cancers in either one or both breasts</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Male breast cancer</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Triple-negative (estrogen receptor-negative, progesterone receptor-negative, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative) breast cancer</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>The combination of pancreatic cancer and/or prostate cancer (metastatic or Gleason score &#x02265;7) with breast cancer and/or ovarian cancer</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Breast cancer diagnosed at any age in an individual of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Two or more relatives with breast cancer, one diagnosed at or before age 50 years</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Three or more relatives with breast cancer at any age</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>A family member with a known <i>BRCA1</i> or <i>BRCA2</i> pathogenic variant</div></li></ul><p>Note: (1) "Breast cancer" includes both invasive cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ.

Thus, molecular genetic testing ideally should be performed initially on the "best test candidate" as opposed to a family member who may have an unrelated cancer or who may not have a personal history of cancer. (2) If the best test candidate is not available, molecular testing may be performed on another individual, without a cancer history, with the understanding that failure to detect a pathogenic variant does not eliminate the possibility of a <i>BRCA1</i> or <i>BRCA2</i> pathogenic variant being present in the family. (3) Per ACMG/AMP variant interpretation guidelines, the terms "pathogenic variant" and "likely pathogenic variant" are synonymous in a clinical setting, meaning that both are considered diagnostic and can be used for clinical decision making [<a class="bibr" href="#brca1.REF.richards.2015.405" rid="brca1.REF.richards.2015.405">Richards et al 2015</a>].
