Germline Mutations in Predisposition Genes in Pediatric Cancer

A constitutive mutation in a cancer-susceptibility gene can have implications for clinical treatment and genetic counseling of family members. This study involving 1120 children and adolescents showed that 95 (8.5%) had such a mutation. The frequency of germline mutations in cancer-predisposition ge...
