Identifying Somatic Tumor-Only Variants with Intelligent Variant Filtration Strategies in Alissa Interpret
Introduction Tumor molecular profiling by next-generation sequencing (NGS) aims to use information on somatic tumor-specific variants to direct cancer treatment. A significant challenge in tumor molecular profiling is identifying tumor-specific variants in the presence of germline variants which are also identified during tumor testing. The majority of germline variants are benign changes not contributing to the cancer occurrence, although
