Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hereditary cancers, caused by germline pathogenic variants in cancer susceptibility genes, account for 5%∼10% of malignancies globally. However, their prevalence and genetic spectrum in the Chinese population remain poorly characterized. This study aimed to investigate germline pathogenic variants in 21 cancer susceptibility genes within a Chinese cohort undergoing routine health examinations....
