The Parents Leadership Community (PLC) of the Basser Center for BRCA is a group of parents supporting their children who are, or may be, faced with a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation. The PLC is a supportive forum for parents to learn how to talk with their families about BRCA mutations, while also providing a resource to stay informed about the latest advances in BRCA research and care.
