If so, I would love to hear more information. My genetic counselor called the testing company, as that's what my results said to do. They told her they had very little data and were not researching any further with the ATM gene at this time. My mom, who also had breast cancer at 40, and a second primary one at 62 is undergoing further genetic testing to see if she has the same mutation. We both tested negative for BRCA 1&2.
