PurposeGermline deletions affecting the Y-chromosomal gr/gr region were reported in 2005 as associated with susceptibility to testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT), a highly heritable tumor type that is the most common cancer type affecting adult men under the age of 45. Attempts to replicate this association have been equivocal, primarily due to limited power. MethodsHere, we compare and validate two computational approaches to gr/gr deletion calling in high-, low- and ultra-low-coverage whole gen...
