Patient Selection
The Hereditary cancer registry of the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires is a national Argentinean registry that contains information of all families identified with proven or suspected hereditary cancer. Through research collaborations, data from the registry is freely available. This prospective database contains clinical, molecular, and familial data, which is clinically relevant. In addition, the electronic medical records of these patients can be reviewed to retrieve further data.
We obtained molecular (genetic testing) and epidemiological data (family history) from 48 families that fulfilled AC (n = 33), Bethesda guidelines criteria (n = 8), and families suggestive of a dominant CRC inheritance syndrome (n = 7) (7, 8, 24)
between 2009 and 2016. Family pedigree was constructed based on the
information provided by the proband during one or more genetic
counseling sessions.
