Discovery and reporting of clinically-relevant germline variants in advanced cancer patients assessed using whole-exome sequencing
2017-03-01
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Purpose</h4> In precision cancer care, WES-based analysis of tumor-normal samples helps reveal somatic alterations but can also identify cancer-associated germline variants important for disease surveillance, treatment choice and cancer prevention. WES can also identify germline secondary findings impacting risk of cardiac, neurodegenerative or metabolic diseases. In patients with advanced cancer, the frequen...
