Abstract excerpt
In humans, about 5-10% of all cancers are caused by germline pathogenic variants (PVs) in cancer-predisposing genes, and their identification enables precision oncology approaches, such as surveillance for early detection, preventive medicine, and targeted therapy. Although cancer is a leading cause of death in cats, PVs have not been investigated for precision oncology. We developed a feline-specific multiplex...
