abstract = {Large amounts of germline sequencing data have recently
become available and we sought to compare these results with
population-based family history data. Family studies are
able to describe aggregation of any defined cancers in
families. The Swedish Family-Cancer Database is the largest
of its kind in the world, covering the Swedish families
through nearly a century with all cancers in family members
since the start of national cancer registration in 1958. The
database allows estimation of familial risks, ages of cancer
onset and the proportion of familial cancer in different
family constellations. Here, we review the proportion of
familial cancer for all common cancers and specify them
based on the number of affected individuals. With the
exception of a few cancers, age of onset of familial cancer
is not different from all cancers combined. The highest
proportions of familial cancer were found for prostate
$(26.4\%),$ breast $(17.5\%)$ and colorectal $(15.7\%)$
cancers, but the proportions of high-risk families with
multiple affected individuals were only $2.8\%,$ $1\%$ and
$0.9\%,$ respectively. A large sequencing study on female
breast cancer found that BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations could
account for $2\%$ of the cases (subtracting the proportions
in healthy individuals) and that all germline mutations
accounted for $5.6\%$ of the cases. Early age of onset was a
distinct feature of only BRCA mutations. In heritable
colorectal cancer, Lynch syndrome genes dominate. Large
studies on penetrance in Lynch syndrome have shown an
approximately linear increase in risk from 40-50 years up to
age 80 years. Interesting novel data revealed a strong
modification of familial risk by unknown factors. High-risk
germline genetics of prostate cancer is characterized by
BRCA and other DNA repair genes. HOXB13 encodes a
transcription factor which contributes to germline risk of
prostate cancer. A strong interaction was shown with a
polymorphism in the CIP2A gene. The emerging germline
landscape of common cancers can be reasonably accommodated
by family data on these cancers as to high-risk proportions
and age of onset.},
