BRCA somatic and germline mutation detection in paraffin embedded ovarian cancers by next-generation sequencing

BRCA mutated ovarian cancers respond better to platinum-based therapy and to the recently approved PARP-inhibitors. There is the need for efficient and timely methods to detect both somatic and germline mutations using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues and commercially available techno...
