Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Recent studies reveal that 5%-18% of children with cancer harbor pathogenic variants in known cancer-predisposing genes. However, DNA damage repair (DDR) genes, which are frequently somatically altered in pediatric tumors, have not been systematically examined as a source of novel cancer-predisposing signals. METHODS: To address this gap, we interrogated 189 DDR genes for presence of germline...
