I had genetic testing. I don't have BRCA1 or 2. I do have a mutated PALB2 gene. Geneticist said the jury is out on whether or not it has an affect on prostate cancer. My daughter has the PALB2 mutation and is taking precautions.

Studies show that men who inherit a faulty PALB2 gene have a higher chance of getting prostate cancer compared to the general population.
