Abstract Broader genetic screening has led to the growing recognition of the role of germline variants associated with adult bone marrow failure (BMF) and myeloid neoplasia (MN) not exclusively in children and young adults. In this study, we applied a germline variant panel to 3008 adult BMF and MN cases to assess the importance of germline genetics and its impact on disease phenotype and prognosis. In our cohort, up to 9.7% of BMF and 5.3% of MN cases carried germline variants.
Abstract The majority of studies assessing the contribution of pathogenic germline variants (PGVs) to cancer predisposition have focused on patients with single cancers. We analyzed 45 known cancer predisposition genes (CPGs) in germline samples of 202 patients with hematological malignancies (HMs) plus one or more other independent cancer managed at major tertiary medical centers on two different continents.
