Table 2 New gene–phenotype pairs for secondary findings (SF) list.

From: ACMG SF v3.0 list for reporting of secondary findings in clinical exome and genome sequencing: a policy statement of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG)

Gene–phenotype

Key considerations

Genes related to cancer phenotypes

MAX/hereditary paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma

Penetrance met threshold to include with other PGL/PCC genes

PALB2/hereditary breast cancer

Risk of breast cancer risk meets penetrance threshold

TMEM127/hereditary paraganglioma/pheochromocytoma

Penetrance met threshold to include with other PGL/PCC genes

Genes related to cardiovascular phenotypes

CASQ2/catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT)

Risk of sudden death with preventive interventions available

FLNC/cardiomyopathy

Risk of sudden death with preventive interventions available

TRDN/catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) & long QT syndrome

Risk of sudden death with preventive interventions available

TTN/cardiomyopathy

Risk of sudden death with preventive interventions available

Genes related to inborn errors of metabolism phenotypes

BTD/biotinidase deficiency

Features can be nonspecific; highly effective treatment in children and adults

GAA/Pompe disease

Availability of effective enzyme replacement therapy in infantile and later-onset cases

Genes related to miscellaneous phenotypes

ACVRL1/hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia

Potential morbidity meets penetrance threshold and has efficacious intervention

ENG/hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia

Potential morbidity meets penetrance threshold and has efficacious intervention

HFE/hereditary hemochromatosis (HFE p.C282Y homozygotes only)

Potential morbidity meets penetrance threshold and has efficacious intervention

HNF1A/maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY3)

Accounts for 30–50% of known MODY cases likely to respond to low dose sulfonylureas; early treatment may prevent complications

RPE65/RPE65-related retinopathy

Availability of gene therapy treatment that may be more efficacious earlier in disease progression
