<p>Ewing Sarcoma (EwS) is rare but the second most common cancer in children, adolescents and young adults. Recent studies suggest germline variation in or around GGAA microsatellites may interact with fusion oncoprotein binding causing changes in binding affinity and potentially impacting enhancer activity on nearby target genes. This study aims to better understand germline variation around EwS susceptibility regions by performing long-range haplotype sequencing of these regions using PacBio sequencing. Our analysis focused on characterizing variation in GGAA microsatellite length as well as germline variants in or around the microsatellite and their association with EwS risk.</p><p> </p>
