Genetic testing often returns a variant of uncertain significance that cannot be acted on, most often in people of non-European ancestry. Saturation genome editing has already classified nearly all BRCA1 single-nucleotide variants; a consortium doing the same for the roughly 30 actionable hereditary cancer genes would end most uncertain results.
Patients often receive a genetic result of uncertain significance that cannot be acted on, so this idea forms a philanthropy-funded consortium to produce saturation genome editing functional maps for the roughly 30 actionable hereditary cancer genes and submit them to ClinVar. Saturation editing has already classified nearly all BRCA1 single-nucleotide variants, VUS rates are especially high in non-European populations, and functional evidence is now accepted in ACMG classification frameworks. The test funds five genes a year and tracks VUS reclassification rates in clinical laboratories. With preclinical evidence, it addresses the bottlenecks Inherited risk is mostly unidentified and Biomarkers are not validated or standardised, and links to CRISPR functional genomics, BRCA and TP53.
