Uptake of genetic testing as of 9/11/20

*

Participant has an FDR and SDR with PDAC-associated pathogenic variant

**

Percent in those who received results; includes pathogenic variants in APC, ATM, BRCA1, BRCA2, CDKN2A, EPCAM, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PALB2, PMS2, STK11, TP53

***

Includes pathogenic variants in CHEK2 (2) and MITF (2). 1 participant carried pathogenic variants in BRCA1/CHEK2, 1 carried BRCA2/MITF, 1 carried ATM/CHEK2, 1 carried MITF; double pathogenic variants are counted in the “other” category as well as the PDAC-predisposing pathogenic variants listed above. Pathogenic variants in CHEK2 and MITF are not believed to be associated with PDAC susceptibility.
