Variant Interpretation in Cancer Susceptibility Genes

Join this webinar presented by Dr. Alice Garrett, a Clinical Cancer Geneticist and Honorary Clinical Lecturer at the Institute of Cancer Research in London, as she explores the unique challenges of variant interpretation in cancer susceptibility genes. Learn about the work of the Cancer Variant Interpretation Group UK (CanVIG-UK) in supporting improved accuracy and consistency in clinical interpretation of genetic variants. Discover approaches to complex issues including reduced penetrance variants, variant reclassification, and the use of case-control data in cancer genetics. The one-hour session covers how variant interpretation in cancer susceptibility differs from other contexts, methods for interpreting reduced penetrance variants in high penetrance genes, and broader challenges in clinical variant interpretation. Healthcare professionals can earn CPD credits by watching the complete webinar and following the provided registration instructions (valid until March 11th, 2027).
