Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: PALB2 is the most important contributor to familial breast cancer after BRCA1 and BRCA2. Large genomic rearrangements (LGRs) in BRCA1 and BRCA2 are routinely assessed in clinical testing and are a significant contributor to the yield of actionable findings. In contrast, the contribution of LGRs in PALB2 has not been systematically studied. METHODS: We performed targeted sequencing and real-time qPCR...
