Abstract
We conducted a mixed‐method study to examine coping response in BRCA+ women
based on parent of origin (maternally vs paternally inherited BRCA
mutation). Quantitative findings (n = 408) revealed paternally inherited
cases had genetic testing later and were more likely to have a cancer
diagnosis. Having a maternally inherited mutation was the strongest
predictor of proactive risk management response. Qualitative interviews (n
= 56) identified proactive responses among maternally inherited cases
compared to reactive responses in paternally inherited cases. Findings
underscore the importance of unbiased pedigree analysis to determine cancer
risk. Women with paternally inherited BRCA mutations may benefit from
additional psychosocial support.
