Breast Cancer Clinical Trial
CTNNA1 Familial Expansion Study
Summary
The goal of the CAFÉ Study is to determine the cancer risks associated with germline CTNNA1 loss-of-function variants.
Full Description
The CAFÉ Study aims to determine the degree to which loss-of-function variants in the CTNNA1 gene are associated with hereditary cancers, including gastric cancer, breast cancer, as well as other cancers that may be associated with this gene. By obtaining personal and family history information from individuals who carry a CTNNA1 loss-of-function variant and their family members, this study will aim to better define CTNNA1 associated cancer risks and determine whether there is a genotype/phenotype correlation for CTNNA1 loss-of-function variants. This information will be important for the future cancer risk management of individuals who carry a CTNNA1 loss-of-function variant.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
18 years of age and older
Participants must be carrier, or a first degree relative of a carrier, of a CTNNA1 loss-of-function variant defined as: a variant predicted to lead to protein truncation (nonsense and frameshift variants), a large deletion of one or more exons, or a consensus splice site variant predicted to disrupt splicing in CTNNA1. CTNNA1 loss-of-function variants do not need to be classified as pathogenic or likely pathogenic to be included.
Participants must be able to understand and read English
Participants must be able to provide informed verbal or written consent
Exclusion Criteria:
Less than 18 years of age
Individuals who do not carry a CTNNA1 loss-of-function variant and are not a first degree relative of a CTNNA1 loss-of-function variant carrier.
Individuals who cannot speak and read English
Major psychiatric illness or cognitive impairment that in the judgement of the study investigators or study staff would preclude study participation
Unable to comply with the study procedures as determined by the study investigators or study staff
