Popis: BackgroundGermline variants in fumarate hydratase (FH) are associated with autosomal dominant (AD) hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) and autosomal recessive (AR) fumarase deficiency (FMRD). The prevalence and cancer penetrance across different FH variants remain unclear.MethodsA database containing 120,061 records from individuals undergoing cancer germline testing was obtained. FH variants were classified into 3 categories: AD HLRCC variants, AR FMRD variants, and variants of unknown significance (VUSs). Individuals with variants from these categories were compared with those with negative genetic testing.ResultsFH variants were detected in 1.3% of individuals (AD HLRCC, 0.3%; AR FMRD, 0.4%; VUS, 0.6%). The rate of AD HLRCC variants discovered among reportedly asymptomatic individuals without a clear indication for HLRCC testing was 1 in 2668 (0.04%). In comparison with those with negative genetic testing, the renal cell carcinoma (RCC) prevalence was elevated with AD HLRCC variants (17.0% vs 4.5%; P
