Purpose
Germline pathogenic variants in cancer predisposition genes are found in approximately 10% of all cancer cases. Although multigene panel testing is the current first-tier approach for detecting variants in these genes, it has limitations in identifying and characterizing copy-number variants and other structural variants (SVs). Genome sequencing (GS) provides a more uniform coverage throughout the genome, thereby offering a more comprehensive method for copy-number variant and SV detection; however, its diagnostic utility in genetic testing for cancer predisposition remains underexplored.
Methods
In this study, we performed GS on 33 patients with previously identified germline SVs in cancer predisposition genes, including 25 deletions, 7 duplications, and 1 mobile element insertion.
Results
Using 2 SV callers in the DRAGEN pipeline, GS achieved 100% sensitivity in detecting these SVs. Moreover, GS revealed additional insights not available through previous clinical testing in 9 (27%) cases, including identifying a complex SV, clarifying structural configuration of intragenic duplications, and refining breakpoints at base-pair resolution.
Conclusion
Taken together, our findings support the utility of GS as the sequencing backbone for germline genetic testing of cancer predisposition genes with improved detection, characterization, and clinical interpretation of SVs.

Purpose
Family history (FHx) is the most widely available tool for reducing mortality and morbidity caused by heritable diseases. However, FHx may be inadequately documented. Our objective was to assess the rate at which cancers in patient relatives are documented as FHx in electronic health records (EHRs).
Methods
Our primary analysis included 903 Healthy Nevada Project participants who had cancer-diagnosed patient relatives removed by ≤2 degrees in a kinship analysis. The rate of successful EHR documentation of relatives’ cancer type was quantified using generalized estimating equations.
Results
The population-average rate of cancer FHx documentation in the EHR was 45.2% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 42.0%-48.4%). The odds ratio (OR) for successful documentation was 0.39 (95% CI: 0.24-0.64) for patients >69 years old versus patients <30 years old. Additionally, FHx documentation increased with years since a relative’s cancer diagnosis, with an OR of 2.19 (95% CI: 1.57-3.06) for patients with ≥10 years since their relative’s diagnosis versus <5 years. Compared with females, males were less likely to document female-specific cancers (OR 0.31 [95% CI: 0.19-0.49]) but more likely to document male-specific cancers (OR 2.42 [95% CI: 1.16-5.04]). In a secondary analysis of 83 patients with variants in BRCA1 or BRCA2, 34 (41%) met familial risk criteria based on their EHRs; however, an additional 6 (7%) would have met criteria if cancers in known relatives had been documented.
Conclusion
More than half of cancers affecting patient relatives were not documented as FHx in patient EHRs. This suggests that familial risk is underestimated, likely resulting in missed opportunities to reduce cancer mortality and morbidity.
