Assessment of candidate high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma predisposition genes through integrated germline and tumour sequencing - npj Genomic Medicine

Jan 9, 2025 | nature.com | Deepak N Subramanian |Lisa Devereux |Dane Cheasley |Paul James

AbstractHigh-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) has a significant hereditary component, only half of which is explained. Previously, we performed germline exome sequencing on BRCA1 and BRCA2-negative HGSOC patients, revealing three proposed and 43 novel candidate genes enriched with rare loss-of-function variants. For validation, we undertook case-control analyses using genomic data from disease-free controls. This confirms enrichment for nearly all previously identified genes.

However, individuals part of this program can still face legal consequences if they’re found to have tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in their system while driving.
