Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) is a rare cancer susceptibility syndrome exclusively attributable to pathogenic variants in FH (HGNC:3700). This article quantitatively weights the phenotypic context (PP4/PS4) of such very rare variants in FH. METHODS: We collated clinical diagnostic testing data on germline FH variants from 387 individuals with HLRCC and 1780 individuals with...
