The majority of a hospital-based population accepted to participate in a molecular screening project for familial breast cancer, giving their informed consent to blood sampling. Only 9.5% of patients declined to sign the consent form. Here we report the reasons for refusal and we critically review our methodological approach to obtain consent for a blood test for genetic research in a clinical setting.
