摘要: Widespread resequencing for research and diagnostic purposes has disclosed a huge amount of genetic variability in the human genome, including genes associated with inherited predisposition to colorectal cancer. The functional clinical consequences gene variants identified are often difficult predict. Therefore, it becoming increasingly evident that standardized approaches interpretation needed order maximize utility molecular testing. In this chapter, we discuss strategies variant classification, special reference hereditary cancer points evidence available their interpretation.
