Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of the PROPH-ITA Study is to perform genetic testing in family members of pancreatic cancer patients who may have a genetic predisposition. The subjects belong to the Italian Registry of Families At Risk of Pancreatic Cancer (IRFARPC, #NCT04095195). This investigational study will assess the genetic background of subjects with familiarity with pancreatic cancer only.
Participants may accept to undergo genetic testing as part of the IRFARPC registry, through a saliva-swab-based 41-gene panel test.
Up to 3,000 participants will be enrolled in this study.
