Abstract excerpt
The efficiency of a novel targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) test, the Devyser BRCA kit, for a comprehensive analysis of all 48 coding exons of the high-risk breast/ovarian cancer susceptibility genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 has been assessed. The new assay intended to detect nucleotide substitutions, small deletions/insertions, and large deletions/duplications. To document the false-negative and false-positive...
