That's sad that it's been lost or hidden and, as your aunt's case points out, medically dangerous. Counsyl is a company founded entirely on testing for dangerous recessive genes in Askenazi Jew couples before they have kids, e.g. Tay-Sachs.

There's definitely one of the Ashkenazi BRCA breast cancer mutations running in your family (the case of male breast cancer pretty much clinches it). If you or someone else in your family ever want to get genetic testing for BRCA1/2, let me know and I can give you some advice. /ask a geneticist hour
