Abstract excerpt
Germline BRCA1/2 variants in comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) often exhibit variant allele frequency (VAF) exceeding 50%. However, when genomic loss occurs at the ipsilateral allele, including the germline variant in tumor cells, the VAF is low. This case report presents a patient with uterine sarcoma with a pathogenic BRCA2 mutation and low VAF in tumor-only CGP, which was later identified as a germline...
