Molecular characterization of germline variants related to Gastric Cancer based on Whole Exome Sequencing data

Gastric cancer is one of the most prevalent and aggressive cancers worldwide, including several Andean regions in Colombia. High-throughput sequencing technologies can help to reveal new insight about the molecular mechanisms of gastric cancer onset and progression. In this context, exomics is a pivotal omics to discover novel associated genes. We performed whole exome sequencing analysis to identify germline variants (SNVs and InDels) related to gastric cancer
