Clinical information and samples (blood, saliva, and tumor) will be collected from patients with multiple cancers and/or a family history of cancer as well as from affected and unaffected relatives; samples will be systematically sequenced and evaluated for candidate driver mutations.
Genetic screening will be performed on DNA (and/or RNA) isolated from collected samples from affected individuals by whole exome sequencing or RNA sequencing using in-house pipeline to identify candidate sequence variants. These variants will be tested for segregation with the phenotype in other relatives (affected/unaffected). Candidate variants will be subjected to additional downstream analysis, to be guided by the actual type of gene/variant.

All information exchanged between the local investigator/referring physician and the PI will be made through the unique identifiers to maintain patient confidentiality
Since the age-related penetrance of the disease is not known, it may be many years before an individual changes his/her affection status. Thus, the clinical updates remain open-ended
PI will provide coded data to collaborators who have signed an MTA agreement. These collaborators will not have access to identifiable data
