Next-Generation Sequencing in Order to Better Characterize a BRCA Variant of Uncertain Significance
BRCA germline mutations are the most common predisposing factor in familial breast-ovarian cancer syndrome families. However, many screened patients are identified as harboring BRCA variants of uncertain significance (VUS), rather than carrying deleterious germline mutations [Calo et al.: Cancers 20...
