Germline Predisposition to Pediatric Cancer, from Next Generation Sequencing to Medical Care
Knowledge about genetic predisposition to pediatric cancer is constantly expanding. The categorization and clinical management of the best-known syndromes has been refined over the years. Meanwhile, new genes for pediatric cancer susceptibility are discovered every year. Our current work shares the...
