Really important topic as penetrance studies are conducted and reported inconsistently leading to difficulty in interpreting results. Great team to be a part of considering how we best avoid some of these pitfalls. TLDR variant curation is hard!

Thank you for highlighting this article @Chris_P_Wild what do genetic professionals think about this? Send us a comment #genechat

Just to highlight one of my favourite plots, it shows so clearly the difference family history makes in the penetrance of these variants

This is really fascinating insight into penetrance of pathogenic variants in large population cohorts!

@JamesFasham @carolinefwright @mnweedon @bethan_rimmer @ExeterMed @uk_biobank @tischkowitz Thanks @JamesFasham, #fig1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sciencedirect.com/science/articl… for anyone that would like to read the original paper including our caveats and limitations. Major message is to ask about family history, tailor risk advice accordingly and let patients make more informed decisions.

Context matters when interpreting genetic test results Testing without considering this risks harm @DrLMJackson @carolinefwright @mnweedon @bethan_rimmer (@ExeterMed) using @uk_biobank + comment from @tischkowitz #Cancer #BRCA #BreastCancer theguardian.com/society/2023/s…

Research warns that women could be undergoing unnecessary surgery because of fear of #breatcancer after being told they're high risk, from genetic test results which do not take family history into account. news.exeter.ac.uk/faculty-of-hea…
