BACKGROUND: The gap between a large growing number of genetic tests and a suboptimal clinical workflow of incorporating these tests into regular clinical practice poses barriers to effective reliance on advanced genetic technologies to improve qualit...
The use of multiple testing procedures in the context of gene-set testing is an important but relatively underexposed topic. If a multiple testing method is used, this is usually a standard familywise error rate (FWER) or false discovery rate (FDR) c...
Machine learning techniques are of great importance in the analysis of microarray expression data, and provide a systematic and promising way to predict core cancer genes. In this study, a hybrid strategy was introduced based on machine learning tech...
In the area of cancer predisposition, certain situations may lead to the discussion of prophylactic surgery. This is rarely strictly recommended and depends on the patient's choice. The advantages and disadvantages must be weighed up. The main advant...

Pre-implantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) via embryo biopsy helps in embryo selection by assessing embryo ploidy. However, clinical practice needs to consider the invasive nature of embryo biopsy, potential mosaicism, and inaccurate rep...
The rising cost of private health insurance and constraints within public health systems are global concerns. Genetic testing presents a transformative opportunity for health care to enhance health outcomes and optimise resource allocation through pe...
IMPORTANCE: Less than 10% of patients with cancer have detectable pathogenic germline alterations, which may be partially due to incomplete pathogenic variant detection.
PURPOSE: SEER registries do not report results of epidermal growth factor receptor () and anaplastic lymphoma kinase () mutation tests. To facilitate population-based research in molecularly defined subgroups of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we...
