1 Managing Moderate Penetrance Thomas Slavin, MD, FACMG Assistant Clinical Professor, Department of Medical Oncology, Division of Clinical Cancer Genetics Program Member, Cancer Control and Population Sciences City of Hope National Medical Center

2 Disclosures I do not have anything to disclose.

3 Objectives Describe the differences between a high, moderate, and low penetrance cancer susceptibility genes. Counsel a patient about moderate and low penetrance cancer susceptibility genes found on routine clinical i l testing Identify that moderate and low penetrance cancer susceptibility genes may not track with the family history of cancer. Recognize that cancer susceptibility genes on clinical panels are not always actionable.

4 Outline Background Moderate penetrance genes influence on breast, ovarian, and colorectal cancer. Incorporation into management and risk models Conclusions

5 Why are panels expanding? NGS, Patents, Pathways, candidate genes and emerging evidence (may add ~5 10%)

6 Results of MGP testing NBN 10% BRIP1 7% MRE11A 3% BARD1 RAD51D RAD50 2% 2% 2% CHEK2 29% ATM 14% MUTYH mono 14% PALB2 17% Select results from 348 commercial multigene panel tests ordered by Clinical Cancer Genetics Community of Practice clinicians between January 1, 2014, through October 1, Adapted from Slavin T.P. et al., Front. Oncol :208.
