Department activities

We manage genetic predispositions to malignant hematologic disorders.

Germline predispositions to Hematopoietic Myeloid Malignancies currently account for approximately 10% of patients and represent a significant risk factor for these conditions.

Our clinical-biological unit manages families carrying a genetic predisposition to Hematopoietic Myeloid Malignancies or with a family history suggestive of such a predisposition. This includes both affected patients and healthy relatives who are carriers.

Families are seen either in outpatient consultations or in a dedicated day hospital setting, which allows for comprehensive care involving multiple professionals (physicians, genetic counsellors, psychologists) and the performance of necessary procedures and sampling for genetic diagnosis or follow-up, in close integration with the laboratory.

Multidisciplinary Team Meetings

The participants include clinical or laboratory hematologists, pediatricians, geneticists, genetic counsellors, psychologists, advanced practice nurses, and sometimes oncologists.

The cases presented may include:

  • Discussions on the indications for germline genetic screening to be performed in a patient or family (through dedicated panels or as part of a pre-indication under the France Genomic Medicine Plan);
  • Discussions to determine the pathogenicity of identified variants;
  • Discussions to establish follow-up and prevention recommendations for patients and relatives who are carriers of a genetic predisposition.
