Eligibility Criteria
Testing of affected individual (proband) with hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) or
other FH deficiency disorder where the individual +/- family history meets one of the following criteria.
The proband has:
a. Type 2 papillary, HLRCC associated RCC (WHO pathology definition) OR tubulo-papillary renal
tumour at any age, OR
b. Two of: cutaneous leiomyomata, renal tumour (any histology) , OR uterine leiomyomata with
classic histological features < 40 years OR
c. d. Cutaneous leiomyomata AND one first / second / third degree relative with renal tumour, OR
Cutaneous leiomyomata AND two first / second / third degree relatives with cutaneous
leiomyomata OR uterine leiomyomata with classic histological features < 40 years, OR
e. Uterine leiomyomata with classic histological features (age <40) OR
f. Multiple cutaneous leiomyomata
Deceased affected individual (proband) where all the following are met;
(i) the individual +/- family history meets one of the above criteria, AND
(ii) a previously stored constitutional blood/DNA or tissue sample (tumour or normal) is available,
AND
(iii) no living affected individual is available for genetic testing, AND
(iv) after discussion at specialist cancer genetics MDT
NOTE: Cutaneous leiomyomata should be histologically confirmed; uterine leiomyomata and renal tumours
should be medically documented
Genetic testing may occasionally be appropriate outside these criteria following discussion at a specialist
MDT with a cancer geneticist present
Referrals for testing will be triaged by the Genomic Laboratory; testing should be targeted at those where a
genetic or genomic diagnosis will guide management for the proband or family.

Sample requirements
Sample Requirements Each sample must be sent labelled with 3 patient identifiers and must state the sample type clearly on the sample container. Sample Rejection Samples may be rejected for the following reasons: 1. Samples and request form do not show at least three identical patient identifiers 2. The sample is in the incorrect collection media 3. The request form is not sufficiently completed 4. The sample is not of sufficient volume 5. The sample is too old
