The discovery of the two inherited susceptibility genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 in the mid-1990s created the possibility of predictive genetic testing and led to the establishment of specific medical programmes for those at high risk of developing breast cancer in the UK, US and Europe.
The book provides a coherent structure for examining the diversity of practices and discourses that surround developments linked to BRCA genetics, and to the evolving field of genetics more broadly. It will be of interest to students and scholars of anthropology, sociology, history of science, STS, public health and bioethics.
Chapter 8 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 3.0 license.

Alle haben sie - aber was wissen wir über Brustkrebs-Gene? Wie gestaltet sich Gendiagnostik zwischen DNA-Proben und Beratungsgesprächen, zwischen Stammbäumen und Früherkennung?Dieses Buch entfaltet die Komplexität der sozialen Wirklichkeit der Brustkrebs-Gene. Entwicklungen der Gentechnologie und damit verbundene Transformationen von zentralen Konzepten der Moderne (Krankheit/Gesundheit, Natur/Kultur) werden detailliert beschrieben und kritisch durchdacht. In dieser verständlich geschriebenen und materialreichen Studie wird die Leserschaft mitgenommen auf den Weg des lernenden Verstehens, des forschenden Erkennens medizinisch orientierter Technologie.
