Hereditary cancer syndromes(HCSs)are arguably the most frequent category of Mendelian genetic diseases,as at least 2%of presumably healthy subjects carry highly-penetrant tumor-predisposing pathogenic variants(Pvs).Hereditary breast-ovarian cancer and Lynch syndrome make the highest contribution to cancer morbidity;in addition,there are several dozen less frequent types of familial *** development of the majority albeit not all hereditary malignancies involves two-hit mechanism,*** somatic inactivation of the remaining copy of the affected *** studies on cancer families suggested nearly fatal penetrance for the majority of HCS genes;however,population-based investigations and especially large-scale next-generation sequencing data sets demonstrate that the presence of some highly-penetrant Pvs is often compatible with healthy *** cancer research initially focused mainly on cancer detection and *** studies identified multiple HCS-specific drug vulnerabilities,which translated into the development of highly efficient therapeutic options.
