Identifying genes and pathways in familial lymphoid cancers using whole exome sequencing.

Abstract excerpt

Lymphoid cancers of different types and subtypes are known to cluster in families. We hypothesize that there are shared susceptibility factors in families with these heterogenous lymphoid malignancies. Exome sequencing was performed on 100 individuals from 43 lymphoid cancer pedigrees. Variants from 37 families were ranked using the Weights-based vAriant Ranking in Pedigrees (WARP) pipeline. Six affected...
