A Registry to Collect Patient and Family DNA and Information for Anyone who has had Multiplex Testing and Gene Mutation Results

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to collect patient and family DNA and disease data to learn more about how changes in certain genes may be linked to cancer. Some people with cancer may have aquired their disease because they inherited an abnormal (mutated) gene. The researchers of this study want to better understand the risks that are linked to genetic changes in these less well-studied genes. By understanding these risks, it is believed that doctors will be able to give better advice to families with mutations in these genes.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

Individual with deleterious (pathogenic) or likely deleterious (likely pathogenic) mutation in a cancer susceptibility gene OR
Individual with a variant of uncertain significance (VUS) in a cancer susceptibility gene OR
Family members, either tested or not tested, who are part of a family known to be transmitting a deleterious or likely deleterious mutation or a variant of uncertain significance in a cancer predisposition gene.

Exclusion Criteria:

Inability or refusal to participate in consent discussion.
Is less than 18 years old.
