摘要：
Your patient, a 36-year-old woman, recently learned that her former college roommate was diagnosed with breast cancer. She wants to know if she should have the genetic test her friend mentioned to assess her risk. Her only family history is that her mother has breast cancer at age 72. She mentions that her roommate did not have a family history of breast cancer, "except on her father's side, and that doesn't count".
