DNA sequencing of tumour tissue has become the standard care for many solid cancers because of the option to detect somatic variants that have significant therapeutic, diagnostic and prognostic implications.

Somatic cancer gene panels are developed to detect acquired (somatic) variants that are relevant for therapeutic or molecular...
