TL;DR: The Genetic Counseling Definition Task Force of the National Society of Genetic Counselors developed the following definition of genetic counseling that was approved by the NSGC Board of Directors: genetic counseling is the process of helping people understand and adapt to the medical, psychological and familial implications of genetic contributions to disease.

TL;DR: Willingness to participate was associated with self-identified white race, higher educational attainment, lower religiosity, perceiving more research benefits, fewer concerns, and fewer information needs, and the concern that the use of broad consent and open data sharing could adversely affect participant recruitment is not supported.

TL;DR: FD was very frequent in both groups, but median intensity was double among GPH patients, and more research is needed to better characterize FD and its correlates in AdCa and possible interventions.

TL;DR: Current methods to identify BRCA1/2 variant carriers may not be sufficient as a screening tool; population genomic screening for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer may better identify patients at high risk and provide an intervention opportunity to reduce mortality and morbidity.

TL;DR: An exportable model for delivery of clinical care through secondary use of research data is described and subject and provider participation data from the initial phase of these efforts can inform other institutions planning similar programs.
