: #Case 1The targeted next‐generation sequencing (NGS) and copy number variation (CNV) analysis was performed to detect mutations using the Ion S5 platform (Thermo Fisher Scientific, based on Ion Torrent technology). In addition, Sanger sequencing was conducted to confirm and supplement the NGS findings, particularly for variants of uncertain significance.#Case 2Whole-genome sequencing for mutation analysis from Illumina, Inc was performed. For detecting gene mutations, the DRAGEN Somatic Whole Genome 4-0-3 pipeline for somatic mutation detection and the DRAGEN Germline Whole Genome 4-0-3 pipeline for germline mutation analysis were utilized.
