title: Unfurling the Genetic Map of Sarcomas.
abstract: An international team of researchers has uncovered multiple new germline mutations that may influence the development of sarcomas. Notably, they found that variants in several DNA damage sensing and repair genes contribute greatly to sarcoma risk, including BRCA2, ATM, ATR, and ERCC2.
