Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is currently used to establish mutational profiles in many multigene diseases such as colorectal cancer (CRC), which is on the rise in many parts of the developing World including, Iran. Little is known about its genetic hallmarks in these populations. AIM: To identify variants in 15 CRC-associated genes in patients of Iranian descent. RESULTS: There were 51 validated...
