Abstract excerpt
Multi-cancer predisposition gene panel testing (MCPGT) enables simultaneous deep-coverage genotyping of multiple CPGs (cancer predisposing genes) and detects germline pathogenic sequence variants (PSVs). Reported PSV carrier rates among pediatric and adolescent cancer patients range from 8 to 17.6%, with variability attributed to ethnic background, the number of genes tested, cancer phenotypes, and patient...
