Watch this PSA from the BFOR Study to learn how genetic testing can save lives.
Oneinforty is part of a network of organizations that provide education and support to individuals and families facing their risk of BRCA-related hereditary cancers. We provide the following resources to those living with and impacted by cancer.

Patient & Provider Education Oneinforty’s mission is to raise awareness of the one-in-forty risk to Ashkenazi Jews (those of Eastern European descent) of inheriting BRCA gene mutations, and provide the support individuals and families need to effectively manage their cancer risk.

Oneinforty Webinars Our virtual educational webinar series is intended to educate attendees about Ashkenazi Jews’ one-in-forty risk of inheriting a BRCA gene mutation. Each event features leading medical experts, Oneinforty Ambassadors, and other stakeholders who provide information about BRCA gene mutations, the Jewish-Cancer connection, and personal stories about their BRCA journeys.

Emotional Support We recognize that it can be overwhelming to face one’s risk of having inherited a BRCA gene mutation. Oneinforty has a cadre of mental health professionals who volunteer their time to provide confidential emotional support to individuals and families who are considering facing their BRCA risk. We also connect people with other emotional support programs and resources.

The BRCA Founder Outreach (BFOR) Study combined the convenience of direct-to-consumer genetic tests along with the advantages of receiving testing with the guidance of a medical care provider. The Study goal was to increase access to testing for one of the most common tests for hereditary cancer, BRCA genetic mutations, which are associated with greater risks for several types of cancer including breast, ovarian, and prostate cancer.
The study provided genetic testing for common BRCA mutations for women and men of Ashkenazi (Eastern European) Jewish ancestry, age 25 or older, in four U.S. metropolitan areas. This group is at least ten times more likely than the general population to inherit certain kinds of BRCA mutations.
The study is no longer open for general enrollment. We anticipate a second opportunity to participate in this research in the near future. If you would like more information on the BFOR study, please click here.
