Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators aim to study the pattern and frequency of pathogenic variants among ALL newly diagnosed cancer patients in a genetically distinct population. Additionally, the investigators will study the uptake rate of "cascade family screening", frequency of pathogenic variants and barriers against testing.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Prevalence of pathogenic or likely pathogenic germline variants among newly diagnosed cancer patients tested by universal multigene panel testing		2021-2023
Primary	Number of participants with variants of uncertain significance (VUS) as assessed by universal multigene panel testing		2021-2023
Primary	To determine the reasons/ Barriers for refusal of genetic cascade testing among newly diagnosed cancer patients.		2021-2023
