Abstract
The mosaic form of hereditary tumor syndromes (HTS) often was not timely diagnosed due to a small percentage of the mutant allele in the blood DNA. We have described a modern algorithm for genetic laboratory diagnostics of HTS using examples of a patients with von Hippel-Lindau syndrome and retinoblastoma, which included the analysis of available primary tumors and verification of the identified pathogenic variant in blood by deep targeted sequencing.
