“…However, in the past decade, a number of epidemiological studies have revealed that indeed 30%-60% of these tumors have a genetic predisposition, and as a result, the rule of 10s for genetic susceptibility has been abolished (3)(4)(5). Presently there are 18 susceptibility genes known to be associated with PC and PGL: VHL, RET, NF1, SDHA, SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, SDHAF2, MAX, TMEM127, HIF2A (5), FH (6), HRAS (7), PHD1 (7), PHD2 (7), KIF1 (7), IDH1 (8), and BAP1 (9). It is possible to test for 9 of these 18 known susceptibility genes in clinical practice using nextgeneration sequencing (NGS) (10).…”
