Abstract excerpt
Many pathogenic sequence variants (PSVs) have been associated with increased risk of cancers. Mendelian risk prediction models use Mendelian laws of inheritance, as well as specified PSV frequency and penetrance (age-specific probability of developing cancer given genotype), to predict the probability of having a PSV based on family history. Most existing models assume that the penetrance is the same for all PSVs...
