MOS and cancer: Each of the non-recurrent rearrangements were novel, and not previously reported by other studies, however the recurrent translocations identified in this study, mos t(7;9), mos t(7;18), and mos t(9;18) were previously investigated in a study by Musilova et al. [2014] in which the role of recurrent mosaic translocations in ageing as well as predisposition to cancer was investigated.
