    Determining the genetic causes of bladder cancer in a family with a heritable pattern of bladder cancer (AUA 2024)
    Carriers of an FANCC pL554P mutation may be at higher risk for development of bladder cancer. However, as FANCC carrier registries have not demonstrated increased cancer incidence compared with the general population, we hypothesize that this family harbors a novel germline mutation leading to their bladder cancer propensity. Future studies are underway to perform whole-genome sequencing of germline and tumor DNA to identify additional heritable mutations that may predict bladder cancer risk.
