Identification of Germline Mutations in Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma With Suspected Lynch Syndrome

Abstract excerpt

Objective: Whole-exon sequencing (WES) is a commercially available tool for hereditary disease testing. However, little is known about hereditary upper-tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) in the Chinese population. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of Lynch syndrome (LS) in UTUC patients with high-risk features and identify the germline mutations of genetic predisposition gene mutations in those...
