Study Summary

This study is being done to attempt to identify genetic mutations or other gene-based variations in adults and children who have cancer, or are likely to develop an inherited form of cancer, and potentially reduce their risk for cancer or treat the cancer earlier.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Individuals who have undergone clinical and/or research genetic evaluation, found tohave or not have a germline genetic variant (pathogenic, likely pathogenic, variantof uncertain/unknown significance, likely benign).

  • Individuals with or without a personal history of malignant or pre-malignant lesionswho demonstrate: a) clinical findings suggestive of a genetic cancer susceptibilitysyndrome including very early age at onset, multiple primary malignancies, or otherfeatures; and/or b) family histories suggestive of a genetic cancer susceptibilitysyndrome, or c) other features suggesting inherited etiology of malignancy asdetermined by the PI.

  • Family members of the above participants. Both children (with parental consent asage appropriate) and adults are eligible to participation.

  • Individuals may or may not be enrolled MSK patients; probands may be referred to (orself-referred to) the study and may be enrolled at discretion of the PI and if ableto provide informed consent.

  • Biospecimens derived from deceased family members may be used for research in thisstudy if consent if provided by the executor of the estate of that individual.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients will be excluded from this study if he/she has physical, cognitive orpsychiatric conditions that interfere with ability to give meaningful informedconsent.
