Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Structural variants (SVs) may be an underestimated cause of hereditary cancer syndromes given the current limitations of short-read next-generation sequencing. Here we investigated the utility of long-read sequencing in resolving germline SVs in cancer susceptibility genes detected through short-read genome sequencing. METHODS: Known or suspected deleterious germline SVs were identified using Illumina...
