Abstract excerpt
Genetic predisposition is one of the major risk factors for pediatric cancer, with ~10% of children being carriers of a predisposing germline alteration. It is likely that this is the tip of the iceberg and many children are underdiagnosed, as most of the analysis focuses on single or short nucleotide variants, not considering the full spectrum of DNA alterations. Hence, we applied optical genome mapping (OGM) to...
