BACKGROUND: Pancreatic cancer is a lethal disease with a poor 5-year survival rate. Pathogenic germline variants in the coding regions of ATM, BRCA1, and BRCA2 are found in up to 4.8% of pancreatic cancer patients. Germline promoter methylation and gene silencing arising from a germline variant or through other mechanisms have been described as a cause of tumor suppressor gene inactivation. METHODS: We measured...
