General distress (from the State Anxiety Scale) and test-specific distress (a 15-item scale that measures responses to genetic test results) were used to evaluate short-term psychological responses to testing of BRCA1 mutation (associated with a high risk of breast and ovarian cancers) in participants from a Mormon kindred [21]; a significant increase in test-specific distress in carriers compared to that in noncarriers were observed, even when in-person genetic counseling was provided. Here, BRCA1 is linked to Anxiety.
