Abstract excerpt
Cancer predisposition syndromes mediated by recessive cancer genes generate tumors via somatic variants (second hits) in the unaffected allele. Second hits may or may not be sufficient for neoplastic transformation. Here we performed whole-genome and whole-exome sequencing on 479 tissue biopsies from a child with neurofibromatosis type 1, a multisystem cancer-predisposing syndrome mediated by constitutive...
