Abstract excerpt
The prevalence of pathogenic and likely pathogenic (P/LP) variants in genes associated with cancer predisposition syndromes (CPS) is estimated to be 8-18% for paediatric cancer patients. In more than half of the carriers, the family history is unsuspicious for CPS. Therefore, broad genetic testing could identify germline predisposition in additional children with cancer resulting in important implications for...
