  1. Others in demography includes “More than one population”, “Middle Eastern or North African”, and “Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander”; Other in personal cancer history includes stomach, small intestine, ovarian, hepatobiliary, urothelial/bladder, prostate, and pancreas.
  2. The percentage represents the proportion of that specific group within the total number of participants who have medical records except values denoted with # and **.
  3. aCounts suppressed per the All of Us Data and Statistics Dissemination Policy; #among those participants who reported family health history; **among those participants with family history of LS-associated cancers; Sex distribution for LS carriers: Female/Male/Unknown 266/186/5 (58%/41%/1%), and for non-LS carriers: 99710/61468/1335 (61%/38%/1%); ¶(median age at diagnosis, age range); §uterine/endometrial cancer.
  4. p values are based on two-sided z-test for demography section and chi-square test for personal cancer history and family history sections. For comparing ages, we used the Mann-Whitney U test.
