Abstract excerpt
Childhood cancer survivors often experience late adverse effects that may be linked to chemotherapy mutagenesis. We studied chemotherapy mutagenesis in normal pediatric tissues using duplex sequencing (NanoSeq) to enable the detection of mutations from single DNA molecules. We found that platinum chemotherapeutics increased the mutation burdens of normal pediatric tissues to levels seen in adults. In the liver,...
