5007 Background: Epidemiologic studies on germ cell tumors (GCT) in men have shown GCT has a high heritability. Yet, the genetic mechanisms underlying development of GCT in men remain unknown. We sought to determine the prevalence of pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) germline variants in cancer predisposition genes in men with GCT and identify clinical and pathologic factors associated with...
