Importance: A subset of thyroid cancers develops in a setting of a known hereditary cancer-associated syndrome. Understanding the population prevalence of thyroid cancer-associated syndromes is important to guide germline genetic testing and clinical management.

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of the major thyroid cancer-associated syndromes in the United States using the All of Us Research Program (AoU) data.

A germline alteration in the PTEN gene causes a spectrum of disorders conceptualized as PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS), which show high risk of tumor development and a highly variable and complex phenotype. The diagnosis of PHTS is established in a proband by identification of a heterozygous germline PTEN pathogenic variant on molecular genetic testing. In this study, to understand more PTEN-associated clinical phenotype and PHTS in a Japanese population, we extracted 128 germline PTEN rare variants from 113,535 adult Japanese registered in Biobank Japan (BBJ), and categorized 29 pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in 30 individuals (0.

Article Synopsis
  • PTEN hamartoma tumour syndrome (PHTS) is a hereditary cancer syndrome mainly caused by PTEN gene variants, significantly increasing breast cancer risk for female carriers (up to 80%).
  • A study tracked breast biopsies of 14 females with these gene variants over 28 years, finding high rates of breast cancer diagnoses (85.7%) with an average initial diagnosis age of 41.6.
  • The research highlights that breast cancer in PHTS does not have distinctive features, emphasizing the need for healthcare professionals to familiarize themselves with these cases for better early recognition and management.
