What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on improving the molecular diagnosis of hereditary cancers by systematically analyzing both DNA and RNA variants. It aims to enhance the interpretation of genomic variants, which is crucial for identifying individuals at risk and guiding their treatment. The study seeks to establish a reliable process for routine access to these analyses, addressing the current gap in resources that prevents comprehensive testing. By utilizing in silico analysis followed by targeted RNA studies, the research aims to provide a more thorough understanding of the impact of genetic variants on cancer risk.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults over 18 who are undergoing oncogenetic consultations and have consented to genetic analysis for major predispositions to breast, ovarian, or digestive cancers.

Not a fit: Patients who are minors, unable to provide informed consent, or under guardianship will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to more accurate risk assessments and personalized treatment plans for patients with hereditary cancer predispositions.

How similar studies have performed: While the approach of combining DNA and RNA analysis is innovative, similar studies have shown promise in enhancing genetic interpretation in oncogenetics.
