Abstract excerpt
Testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT) is a common tumor type in young men. Family history of TGCT and its presence in twins support the involvement of inherited genetic factors. Germline exome sequencing was performed on monozygotic twins with TGCT and their parents. The twins presented compound heterozygous variants in PDE11A (rs776984134 and rs17400325) inherited from each parent. The rs776984134 variant disrupts...
