Recommendations | Strength | |
---|---|---|
Rec. 10 | FLCN variants should not be considered as ‘pneumothorax-only’ variants. | strong |
Rec. 11 | All FLCN variants should be considered as significantly increasing renal tumour risk and lead to appropriate renal surveillance being offered. | strong |
Rec. 12 | Currently there is not sufficient evidence of an increased risk for other tumours observed in families with BHD syndrome (e.g. colorectal cancer, malignant melanoma, thyroid cancer, etc.). | moderate |
