Exact excerpt

We perform a nationwide, prospective, population-based study of 181 children with acute leukemia to assess diagnostic yield and clinical utility of a uniformly applied three-pronged strategy, including systematic phenotyping, germline WGS-based 189-gene panel and tumor sequencing of positive cases. ... Nine patients have pathogenic germline alterations ... Six of nine diagnoses are previously unrecognized. Findings lead to tailored surveillance in 8/9 patients and treatment modifications in 4/9.
