Currently, only four genetically diagnosed individuals from two unrelated families have been described with limited clinical data.

Gene panels currently used often include adult-onset CPS genes and genes without substantial evidence linking them to cancer predisposition. We have developed criteria to select genes relevant for childhood-onset CPS and assembled a gene panel for use in children with cancer.
