Long-read sequencing unmasks a cryptic three-way translocation resulting in an ETV6::PDGFRB fusion
This case highlights the significant diagnostic utility of long-read sequencing in uncovering and characterizing cryptic and complex genomic rearrangements that are frequently missed by conventional methods. Accurate molecular characterization is critical for disease classification, guiding targeted therapeutic decisions, and ultimately improving patient outcomes in PDGFRB-rearranged neoplasms.
