Cost-effectiveness of Population Screening for BRCA Mutations in Ashkenazi Jewish Women Compared With Family History–Based Testing

Abstract: Background:Population-based testing for BRCA1/2 mutations detects the high proportion of carriers not identified by cancer family history (FH)–based testing. We compared the cost-effectiveness of population-based BRCA testing with the standard FH-based approach in Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) women.Methods:A decision-analytic model was developed to compare lifetime costs and effects amongst AJ women in the UK of BRCA founder-mutation testing amongst: 1) all women in the population age 30 years or older and 2) just th… Show more

“…Thus, the genetic information provided was rapidly incorporated into health care decisions. Similarly, two recent studies from the United Kingdom also argued that population screening of Ashkenazi individuals was cost-effective, and again, 56% of identified mutation carriers would not have met family history criteria for genetic testing 11,12 .…”

“…De todo modo, localizaram-se duas espécies de estudos que endereçaram temas pertinentes à mutação em genes BRCA1/2 na ausência de diagnóstico prévio de câncer de ovário. A primeira categoria de publicações avaliou a adoção de programa de rastreamento para mutação germinativa, em nível populacional, para indivíduos com algoritmo preditivo de risco para mutação ≥ 10% (99) ou etnia judaica Ashkenazi (95,98,102) . O segundo grupo de publicações avaliou a adoção de estratégias cirúrgicas preventivas para indivíduos reconhecidamente portadores de mutação germinativa em genes BRCA1/2 (88,92,93 Os objetivos do projeto principal relacionam-se ao reconhecimento do perfil genético de pacientes diagnosticadas com câncer de ovário, ao desenvolvimento de questionário para detecção de fatores associados, à estimativa de risco para mutação em genes BRCA1/2 mediante aplicação de algoritmos de risco e à avaliação de custoefetividade de testes genéticos.…”
