The to_be_confirmed_NHSE tag has been added, as further NHSE review is required before changing the rating. Additional comments from reviewing GLHs: Appears to be an emerging gene for ovarian cancer - only one publication to date - rare, number of reported cases small, no data on penetrance, unclear of clinical utility regarding risk prediction / treatment recommendationsCreated: 10 Dec 2025, 5:26 p.m. | Last Modified: 10 Dec 2025, 5:26 p.m.

Subramanian et al (PMID: 39794353) have identified LLGL2 as a predisposition gene for high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC). Two inherited terminating LLGL2 variants were found in the germline of three cases with HGSOC. Exome sequencing of the tumour revealed that the wild type allele of LLGL2 was lost, fitting with the two-hit mechanism and resulting in biallelic inactivation of LLGL2 activity.Created: 7 Apr 2025, 11:01 a.m. | Last Modified: 7 Apr 2025, 11:01 a.m.
