“…Genetic testing using multigene panels or whole exome sequencing focuses on the coding sequence, but more recently, application of whole genome sequencing to detect cancer predisposing variation has come to the fore. Most genetic predisposition to cancer relates to sequence variation, but there are other genetic mechanisms which may influence cancer risk, such as methylation defects (constitutional MLH1 hypermethylation [3]), imprinting disorders (e.g., Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome [4]), and copy-neutral structural rearrangements [5] (e.g., MSH2 inversion [6] and chromosome 3 translocations involving VHL [7]), which are not readily detected by whole genome sequencing.…”
