'Personalized' Genome Sequencing Reveals Coding Error In Gene For Inherited Pancreatic Cancer

Scientists have used "personalized genome" sequencing on an individual with a hereditary form of pancreatic cancer to locate a mutation in a gene called PALB2 that is responsible for initiating the disease. The discovery marks their first use of a genome scanning system to uncover suspect mutations in normal inherited genes.
