A Genome-First Approach to Estimate Prevalence of Germline Pathogenic Variants and Risk of Pancreatic Cancer in Select Cancer Susceptibility Genes
2 Jul 2022
Abstract excerpt
Patients with germline pathogenic variants (GPV) in cancer predisposition genes are at increased risk of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the most common type of pancreatic cancer. The genes most frequently found to harbor GPV in unselected PDAC cases are ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, CDKN2A, CHEK2, and PALB2. However, GPV prevalence and gene-specific associations have not been extensively studied in the general...
