Study Description

Germline structural variants (SVs) are challenging to identify by conventional genetic testing assays. Long-read sequencing has improved the global characterization of SVs, but its sensitivity at genetic loci associated with high- and moderate-penetrance cancer susceptibility has not been reported. This study used long-read genome sequencing performed on the Oxford Nanopore Technologies' PromethION to resolve variants underlying breast cancer susceptibility in sixteen individuals with pathogenic germline SVs in BRCA1, BRCA2, CHEK2 or PALB2.
