Abstract excerpt
IMPORTANCE: Tumor genetic sequencing identifies potentially targetable genetic alterations with therapeutic implications. Analysis has concentrated on detecting tumor-specific variants, but recognition of germline variants may prove valuable as well. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the burden of germline variants identified through routine clinical tumor sequencing. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Patients with...
