Most (61%) expected to take a family history, and a significant minority (38%) were willing Savolitinib to explain an inheritance pattern. However, only 10.3 (28%) were willing to carry out any other tasks. Univariate analysis of factors predicting likelihood of carrying out tasks oneself is shown in Table 4. Factors which remained significant at multivariate

analysis are shown in Table 5. Only country of practice and gender were consistently predictive of willingness to carry out more complex tasks, with French/German and male GPs showing more willingness.
