Mashup Score: 3Rare Germline ATM Variants Influence the Development of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia - 2 year(s) ago
PURPOSE Germline missense variants of unknown significance in cancer-related genes are increasingly being identified with the expanding use of next-generation sequencing. The ataxia telangiectasia–mutated (ATM) gene on chromosome 11 has more than 1,000 germline missense variants of unknown significance and is a tumor suppressor. We aimed to determine if rare germline ATM variants are more…

Mashup Score: 2Genomic Microsatellite Signatures Identify Germline Mismatch Repair Deficiency and Risk of Cancer Onset - 2 year(s) ago
PURPOSE Diagnosis of Mismatch Repair Deficiency (MMRD) is crucial for tumor management and early detection in patients with the cancer predisposition syndrome constitutional mismatch repair deficiency (CMMRD). Current diagnostic tools are cumbersome and inconsistent both in childhood cancers and in determining germline MMRD. PATIENTS AND METHODS We developed and analyzed a functional Low-pass…

Section:It is now easier and less expensive than ever for clinicians to just order gene panel testing for anyone with suspected inherited disease, including cancer.1,2 Cancer multigene panel tests (MGPTs) range in size from just a few genes to several dozen or more. However, just because a test can be ordered, does not mean it should be. Ordering a germline genetic test is not the same as other…

Mashup Score: 1Point/Counterpoint: Is It Time for Universal Germline Genetic Testing for All GI Cancers? - 2 year(s) ago
Use of germline genetic testing among patients with cancer is increasing because of (1) the availability of multigene panel tests that include multiple cancer susceptibility genes in a single test, (2) decreased costs of these tests and improvements in insurance coverage, and (3) US Food and Drug Administration–approval of genotype-directed therapies such as poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors…

Mashup Score: 4Cascade Testing for Hereditary Cancer Syndromes: Should We Move Toward Direct Relative Contact? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis - 2 year(s) ago
PURPOSE Evidence-based guidelines recommend cascade genetic counseling and testing for hereditary cancer syndromes, providing relatives the opportunity for early detection and prevention of cancer. The current standard is for patients to contact and encourage relatives (patient-mediated contact) to undergo counseling and testing. Direct relative contact by the medical team or testing laboratory…
