Constitutional pathogenic variants in are associated with Li-Fraumeni syndrome or the more recently described heritable related cancer syndrome and are associated with increased lifetime risks of a wide spectrum of cancers. Due to the broad tumour spectrum, surveillance for this patient group has been limited. To date, the only recommendation in the UK has been for annual breast MRI in women; however, more recently, a more intensive surveillance protocol including whole-body MRI (WB-MRI) has been recommended by International Expert Groups. To address the gap in surveillance for this patient group in the UK, the UK Cancer Genetics Group facilitated a 1-day consensus meeting to discuss a protocol for the UK. Using a preworkshop survey followed by structured discussion on the day, we achieved consensus for a UK surveillance protocol for carriers to be adopted by UK Clinical Genetics services. The key recommendations are for annual WB-MRI and dedicated brain MRI from birth, annual breast MRI from 20 years in women and three-four monthly abdominal ultrasound in children along with review in a dedicated clinic.

Proteus syndrome (PS) is a rare disorder (< 1/1000000), marked by progressive overgrowth commonly impacting the skeleton, skin, adipose tissue, and central nervous system. Clinical criteria were established in 2019. PS arises from a somatic activating variation in the AKT1 gene.

Background: Although heritability of venous thromboembolism (VTE) is high, the thrombophilia screening appears to be positive only in a minority of VTE patients. Adding rare variants screening to identify VTE missing heritability still requires further assessment.
Objective: We report the results of a panel strategy after 3 years of application.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is an opportunistic disease in immunocompromised patients that may appear without symptoms, with constitutional symptoms, or as a tissue-invasive disease. infection often manifests with non-specific symptoms; however, it can lead to severe malabsorption and extraintestinal dissemination by accelerated autoinfection. The coinfection of CMV and has rarely been reported, particularly with solely severe gastrointestinal bleeding.

Helicobacter pylori infection is a major risk factor for gastric adenocarcinomas. In the case of the intestinal subtype, chronic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia are well-known sequential steps in carcinogenesis. H.
