Abstract excerpt
Germline mutations in predisposition genes account for only 20% of all familial colorectal cancers (CRC) and the remaining genetic burden may be due to rare high- to moderate-penetrance germline variants that are not explored. With the aim of identifying such potential cancer-predisposing variants, we performed whole exome sequencing on three CRC cases and three unaffected members of a Polish family and...
