Milestone 1: Clinical Annotation Penetrance Lessons learned • How do we study penetrance? • In people not ascertained by phenotype or genotype. • How people were ascertained was not straightforward, e. g. in cardiology clinic the ascertainment may or may not have been relevant to lipids • In a large enough sample size (E 3 OK for BRCA 1/2, LDLR/APOB, Arrhythmia). • Penetrance would require a lot of data for rare disorders or risk alleles (OR in larger dataset easier). • Conflation of pathogenicity classification vs. penetrance (also, are LPs true Ps? ) • Need specific outcomes forms (some of which can be completed by participants) or records (such as ECG) and detailed age of onset or screening data. • Forms need to be tested and time to review charts must be supported • This represents an iterative process, in that, while testing is important to make sure the forms work to collect data, we’ve had several instances where the data collected based on the initial form construction has some deficiencies or gaps that led to requests for second review. This should be accounted for. • In some cases where clinical diagnosis may not be made despite presence of disease, further phenotyping was needed (tuberous sclerosis, NF 2) for both variant classification and penetrance assessment.
