Tumor Signature Analysis Implicates Hereditary Cancer Genes in Endometrial Cancer Development

Risk of endometrial cancer (EC) is increased ~2-fold for women with a family history of cancer, partly due to inherited pathogenic variants in mismatch repair (MMR) genes. We explored the role of additional genes as explanation for familial EC presentation by investigating germline and EC tumor sequ...
