De novo familial adenomatous polyposis with germline double heterozygosity of APC/BRCA2: a case report and literature review
De novo FAP with double germline mutations in APC and BRCA2, along with somatic ERBB2 mutations, is exceptionally rare among hereditary cancer cases. With the rapid advancements in genomics, the detection of multiple gene variants in individuals or families has become increasingly common. Additionally, the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical research may provide powerful tools for genetic analysis and clinical decision-making. Consequently, a comprehensive evaluation of family history, a deep understanding of hereditary cancer syndromes, and precise interpretation of genetic mutations are essential for personalized clinical management in the era of precision medicine. However, these tasks pose significant challenges for clinicians and genetic counselors alike.
