Identification of a structural aberration (SA) involving a cancer susceptibility gene (CSG) constitutes a type of incidental or secondary finding. Laboratory reporting, risk communication and clinical management of these structural aberrations with secondary implications (SASIs) is currently inconsistent. We undertake meta-analysis of 18 622 instances of CMA performed for unrelated indications in which 106 SASIs are identified involving in total 40 different CSGs. Here we present the recommendations of a joint UK working group representing the British Society of Genomic Medicine, UK Cancer Genetics Group and UK Association for Clinical Genomic Science. SASIs are categorised into four groups, defined by the type of SA and the cancer risk. For each group, recommendations are provided regarding reflex parental testing and cancer risk management. ER -
