Mitochondrial DNA as a potential tool for early cancer detection.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Whole-exome sequencing (WES) over the last few years has been increasingly employed for clinical diagnosis. However, one caveat with its use is that it inevitably fails to detect disease-causative variants that occur within noncoding RNA genes. Our experience in identifying pathogenic variants in the noncodi...
