Definition

There are several genetic disorders associated with genitourinary system. The occurrence of bilateral, multifocal, or metachronous neoplasms and specific histopathologic findings can suggest a genetic predisposition syndrome.  Constitutional pathogenetic variants can now be routinely screened by next generation sequencing (NGS) to identify at-risk individuals in affected families and offer genetic counseling, choice of therapy and surveillance guideline.  However, there are many more genes associated with specific syndromes and disorders that can predispose individuals to genitourinary tumors.  See details in 5th edition (2022) WHO Urinary and Male Genital Tumours.
