Genetic testing...does anyone have the CHEK2 gene mutation?

@mchler73, I was identified as having the CHEK2 gene. My mother does not, so we believe that it came from my father’s side.
The genetics team that I spoke with noted that my CHEK2 has a “Low-penetrance”, making something that they are not concerned with, and they do not believe that it had an influence on either of my cancer diagnoses (breast and lung). Your genetics team should be able to provide you with additional info too.

That is great information! Thank you, I will check into it.
My mom had Melanoma, my dad had Prostate cancer and his father died of Colon cancer so I’m leaning towards it being from my father’s side but….??
