aReviewers followed a chart review abstraction guide to search the EHR and collect defined fields of interest, including personal and self-reported family history (up to third-degree relatives) of syndrome-related findings and recommended surveillance and risk reduction activities based on the participant’s variant. This table represents an EHR search strategy. As such, synonyms and outdated diagnostic terms are included to ensure the EHR review was complete as possible. bThe risk management behavior list extends to activities that could be considered associated with the ETS variant, even if not the current standard of care for individuals with an ETS variant or if only considered in certain clinical scenarios, in an effort to accurately assess whether they may have been any interventions of relevance. This broad list was constructed by reviewing relevant guidelines and the literature [4, 5, 9, 13–20] and sought to recognize variation in practice, longer time since relevant guidelines were released, and a lack of consensus guidelines for all conditions
