Article Title: | Toward concurrent testing for somatic and germline variants in cancer patients |
Abstract: | Sequencing for somatic alterations in patients' tumors is being increasingly clinically implemented to detect mutations that may guide therapy. Germline analysis of a cohort of patients undergoing tumor sequencing with matched normal has revealed that a small but significant percentage of these patients have germline variants that confer cancer susceptibility. © 2016 AACR. © 2016 American Association for Cancer Research. |
