Comprehensive germline genomic profiles of children, adolescents and young adults with solid tumors
Targeted therapies for solid tumors in children, adolescents, and young adults (C-AYA) lag behind that of adult carcinomas. Here, the authors study the germline genomic signatures of 1,507 C-AYA patients with solid tumors and find pathogenic/likely pathogenic germline variants in diverse genes of wh...

| Summary: | Targeted therapies for solid tumors in children, adolescents, and young adults (C-AYA) lag behind that of adult carcinomas. Here, the authors study the germline genomic signatures of 1,507 C-AYA patients with solid tumors and find pathogenic/likely pathogenic germline variants in diverse genes of which 1/3 of these alterations are druggable. |
