The genetic analysis included enhanced whole-exome sequencing (n = 69) or sequencing of specific variants of interest (n = 16).\n\nPathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) germline variants were identified in 35% of patients (30/85). The diagnostic yield varied from 6% (1/16) in the family history group to 52% (17/33) in the CytoMol group. Germline DDX41 P/LP variants were the most frequent finding (13/30, 43% of all positive cases) almost exclusively found within the CytoMol group (12/13). Seven variants of unknown significance were also detected (TERT n = 2 and DDX41, RTEL1, ETV6, PARN, and SAMD9 n = 1). Five patients carried a P/LP variant in genes associated with another hereditary cancer syndrome (BRCA1 n = 3; PALB2 n = 1; and CHEK2; n = 1). Survival analysis showed a trend for longer survival among patients with acute myeloid leukemia and confirmed or suspected germline predisposition that underwent allogeneic stem cell transplantation.\n\nThe implementation of the Nordic guidelines in a prospective Swedish cohort results in a high overall diagnostic yield (35%), proving the feasibility and utility of these or similar guidelines in a clinical setting.", "doi": "10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-24-4251", "pmid": "40388595", "labels": {"Clinical Genomics Lund": "Service", "Clinical Genomics Uppsala": "Collaborative", "Clinical Genomics": "Collaborative"}, "xrefs": [{"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC12260513"}, {"db": "pii", "key": "762516"}], "notes": [], "created": "2025-11-06T06:30:44.017Z", "modified": "2025-11-26T14:14:22.824Z"}]}
