Abbreviations: Participants (pts); deceased (D); breast (Br), colorectal cancer (CRC), uterine (Ut), ovarian (Ov), ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), pancreatic (Pan), squamous cell cancer of the skin (SqCC); reclassifications: pathogenic (P), likely pathogenic (LP), variant of uncertain significance (VUS); first-degree relative (FDR). It should be noted that some individuals had multiple rounds of reclassification, one that started and ended in the VUS category.
