Detection of actionable variants in established non-BRCA1/2 risk genes contributed 29% to the total percentage (14/48), distributed amongst ATM, CHEK2, BARD1, BRIP1, PALB2 and TP53. Experimental WES using a virtually constructed multi-cancer NGS panel in 16 genetically unresolved cases (and four controls) revealed novel protein truncating variants in the basal cell carcinoma gene PTCH1 (c.4187delG) and the signal transmission and transduction gene KIT (c.930delA) involved in crucial cellular processes. This evidence concerns the gene BRIP1 and cancer.
