Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The identification of pretherapeutic somatic BRCA variants can have considerable clinical impact given that they affect response to the new poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP)-targeted therapy. One major issue with this type of testing is the identification of splicing variants of uncertain significance (VUS) on degraded somatic messenger RNA. It is therefore important to be able to quickly...
