Abstract excerpt
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) genetics research has been focused on germline or somatic mutations independently. Emerging evidence suggests that the somatic mutational landscape can be shaped by the germline genetic background. In this study, we aim to unravel the role of somatic alterations within EOC germline susceptibility regions by incorporating functional annotations. We investigate somatic events,...
