Abstract excerpt
Hereditary cancers occur because of inherited gene mutations. Genetic testing has been approved to provide information for risk assessment and rationale for appropriate intervention. Testing methods currently available for clinical use have some limitations, including sensitivity and testing throughput, etc. Next generation sequencing (NGS) has been rapidly evolving to increase testing sensitivity and throughput....
