Cancer burden in individuals with single versus double pathogenic variants in cancer susceptibility genes.

Purpose: As panel testing expands, more individuals with double pathogenic variants (DPVs) in cancer susceptibility genes are likely to be identified. Little is known about the effects of DPVs on cancer phenotype, although this information is crucial for genetic counseling and risk management. We sought to describe the cancer phenotype among individuals with DPVs in cancer susceptibility genes.
