ABSTRACT
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has been associated with germline pathogenic or likely pathogenic (PLP) variants in recognised cancer susceptibility genes. Studies of RCC using gene panel sequencing have been highly variable in terms of study design, genes included, and reported prevalence of PLP variant carriers (4-26%). Studies that restricted their analysis to established RCC predisposition genes identified variants in 1-6% of cases. This work assessed the prevalence of clinically actionable PLP variants in renal cancer predisposition genes in an Australian population-based sample of RCC cases. Germline DNA from 1029 individuals diagnosed with RCC who were recruited through the Victoria and Queensland cancer registries were screened using a custom amplicon-based panel of 21 genes. Mean age at cancer diagnosis was 60 ± 10 years, and two-thirds (690, 67%) of the participants were men. Eighteen participants (1.7%) were found to carry a PLP variant. Genes with PLP variants included BAP1, FH, FLCN, MITF, MSH6, SDHB, TSC1, and VHL. Most carriers of PLP variants did not report a family history of the disease. Further exploration of the clinical utility of gene panel susceptibility testing for all RCCs is warranted.
