    i could not access the article, but I believe the title. I did meet genetic criteria (mother and paternal grandmother had ovarian cancer, 50% ashkenazi), and even so the genetic counselor tried to talk me out of taking the test because we had no other ovarian, breast, prostate or gastric cancer on either side of the family. But I insisted, so my mutation was found and then my cancer, on an MRI (missed on mammograms for 9 previous years)
